Book Nook

Hey guys sorry i havent posted in awhile, ive just been super busy. Anyway i finished another book whooooo. It seems like this next completed novel took me a lot longer to finish then i thought. It was "Wild" by Cheryl Strayed. This book is about the author hiking the PCT, aka the Pacific Crest Trail. She does it for reasons that are never actually clear in the book. It was only a difficult novel in the fact it is hard to follow. For example, shed be talking about the present and where she is, then the next sentence  is about her past. It goes between those two things and sometimes i got lost.

This book is about adventure and troubling times. Its about conquering your fears and facing triumphs. It was a wonderful book and an amazing, life changing story Cheryl went through. I loved how brave she was and how even though she wanted to give up several  times she never did.

I recommend this book for anyone who is going or has gone through difficult times, i recommend for adventurers seeking life changing stories, and i recommend to you, the reader of my blog. Its an amazing true story thatll open your eyes to everything you could dream off.

Hey guys and there's a movie for it starring Reese Witherspoon, it's bound to be good! If you've seen it let me know! I'm sure I'll be watching it soon :) happy reading!

Favorite Quotes: "I would want things to be different then they were. The wanting was a wilderness and I had to find my own way out of the woods."

"Id loved books in my regular, pre-PCT life, but on the trail, theyd taken on even greater meaning. They were the world I could lose myself in when the one I was actually in became too lonely or harsh or difficult to bear."

"..the wilderness had a clarity that included me."

"I think its neat you do what you want. Not enough chicks do that, if you ask me- just tell society and their expectations to go fuck themselves. If more women did that, wed be better off."

"Maybe I was more alone than anyone in the whole wide world. Maybe that was okay."

"Grief doesnt have a face."
