Recently lost my grandmother. Though I had lost my father, I was too young to grieve. But, my grandmother's death feels like a punch in the gut. I keep thinking about how fragile life is. I know that I took good care of her, but I wish I could have done better. I wish I could just hold her one more time, talk to her one more time and take that damn family photo which I should have done when I got that instinct to take one.
reading "lost souls meet under the full moon". It's kind of not my style. I like a core cast and getting attached to them, rather than the cast getting switched in each chapter.
gonna read "monster calls" as I heard it's an awesome book on grief. Suggest similar or better books on handling grief.
don't want self help books. don't wanna deal too much into realism. want one which handles grief with a fantasy kinda way.
lil bit about my book taste
I jumped from Enid Blyton -> Agatha Christie -> Stephen King as I grew older. I like all three of them. Noticed that I usually stick to an author with occasional standalone reads. tbh, those drift from my usual authors felt like such a breath of fresh air and makes me want to be consistent with my reading habits.
my recent standalone reads (ordered by how much I enjoyed them):
– lonely castle in the mirror
– the library at mount char
– a wild sheep chase
– good girl's guide to murder
currently reading and next in line:
– lost souls meet under the full moon
– a monster calls
– heartless
– thursday murder club
genres I love:
– thriller
– murder mystery
– fantasy
tbh, I want to branch out to different authors rather than stick with a single one. I figured out that YA books are good and I should not hold a prejudice against them.
