One of my favorite things to do that I’ve missed out on while in my slump is to read. A friend of mine loaned me a book the other day, so I gave it a shot and breezed through it in one night! It was A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness.
If you like to read, I highly recommend this book. It’s sort of a coming of age story mixed with some fantasy and a tiny bit of mystery/horror. The story follows a 13 year old boy going through trials and tribulations of a sick mom, bullies at school, the aftermath of divorce and then to top it all off, a Monster coming to visit him at night.
It’s a beautiful story honestly. It made me cry my eyes out, so if you are sensitive to books at all, keep your tissues handy. I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I’m very interested in it now!
What books do you recommend? I need some new ones now that I’m getting back into reading again!
