Day 9 - #Incredible #WordsOfOctober
#ExtremelyLoudandIncrediblyClose #JonathanSafranFoer

I read this in Feb. It is an uplifting myth which was born of the sorrows of 9/11. Parts were hilarious but heartbreaking. I found it difficult to once again hear about people jumping from the World Trade Center unable to escape the roaring fire. It was great to hear how many families are moving forward. I found Foer to be wise & compassionate. Recommended.

#3books #setinNewYorkCity. #TheHistoryofLove is one of my favorite books ever. It was interesting to read it back to back with #ExtremelyLoudAndIncrediblyClose since the authors were married at the time.

As I already mentioned earlier, I‘ve had this one on my #tbr since it was published. I definitely wasn‘t let down by Foer. All high expectations were fulfilled. The unique style of this book makes it very special and absorbs the reader even more into the story and into the mind of Oskar. This definitely a book to re-read.

Disappointing, considering how wonderful #EverythingIsIlluminated and #ExtremelyLoudAndIncrediblyClose were. I found a lot of parallels to my own life in Here I Am, but at it's heart this book felt far more cynical than Foer's previous works. This removed me from the characters and left me without anyone to root for. Perhaps that was intentional, but it kept me from being invested.

"Every time I left the apartment to go searching for the lock, I became a little lighter, because I was getting closer to Dad. But I also became a little heavier, because I was getting farther from Mom.” The best book I ever read. #extremelyloudandincrediblyclose #grievance

I thought today's #SeptPhotoChallenge would be hard, I thought "you don't normally cry while reading." And then I remembered these beauties #MeBeforeYou #DeathlyHallows #TheFaultInOurStars #TheLifeAndDeathOfCharlieStCloud #TheBookThief #ExtremelyLoudAndIncrediblyClose #StillAlice. They all got me real in the feels. I DISTINCTLY remember sitting on my bed staying up to read HP7 with nonstop, silent tears rolling down my cheeks #MadeMeCry #Day7
