With a break from studying, I delved into a few other books from my list. I'd recommend them all.
On Writing by Stephen King
Roots was the first long book I remember reading. (Much gratitude to my school librarian.)
It was the second. I'm not sure how I came by it...my librarian Aunt? It sent me down a path of King's other books and helped me deal with the early years of high school. I loved reading his writing journey and was inspired to see how this too carried him through his accident recovery.
Permission to Feel by Marc Brackett, Ph.D
Everyone should read this book. I've known many adults who cannot express their feelings or they have a limited band of words they use (tired, upset, sad, mad). I agree with the author that this training needs to be in a childhood curricula as well and I appreciated the tips for use in work life.
Nomadland by Jessica Bruder
Definitely thinking differently about retirement and Amazon after this one. Kudos to Bruder for going all in to bring us the story of nomad life. (Halen is an excellent name for your rig.)
Great read! This is Mav's story before The Hate U Give. We also learn more about Mr. Wyatt, Lisa, and Mav's mom. I can't imagine the challenges that many young men face just to get through school. We need to be doing more.
Breath by James Nestor
Fascinating read through various techniques of breathwork. (Nestor's another author that went "all in" in the pursuit of the story.) Nose breathing is where it's at.
I hope your spring or autumn season has kicked off with a few good reads of your own. Let me know if there's anything I should add to my list!
