Winner of the Goodreads Choice Award for Fiction A Good Morning America Book Club Pick Independent (London) Ten Best Books of the Year Adam's Cookies Singapore: Cookies That Leave a Big.Description The #1 New York Times bestselling WORLDWIDE phenomenon.As a result of all these factors, regret is an unnecessary burden that many of us carry with us.sometimes all the way till the grave. And the worst is when we compare ourselves to other people even when we have heard the adage - " comparison is the thief of joy" a thousand times over. We also tend to view ourselves through the lens of other people and to wish for alternate kaleidoscopic versions of ourselves that we think we ought to be. As human beings, we let ourselves get trapped by age, peer pressure, familial expectations, gender stereotyping, herd mentality and timelines among many other things.
That there is no way of living that can immunize us against the big scary emotions that are part and parcel of this emotional roller coaster called life. The novel also conveys the message that when feeling trapped in one life, it is easy to imagine that sadness or failure is a byproduct of living a certain way rather than simply ' living'. It is uplifting in its faith that no matter what life throws at you, there is always the potential to bounce back. This imaginative work of fiction serves as a timely reminder to find the purpose, love and kindness in each day even when circumstances seem unbearably bleak.
It is July and I'm more than halfway through my reading challenge for 2021 so I'm optimistic about meeting my target 😊 Anyway, I've added a bunch of books to my 'want to read' list and I intend to cross them off my list slowly and steadily. I so wish I had done this from the time I first set up my account (one small personal regret that I'm trying to undo). Recently, I made time to update my profile and many of my reads with ratings and reviews. But I never used it for anything more than that. I have had an account with goodreads for many years which I used sporadically to discover new books. When you link your kindle app to goodreads, it will automatically update your reading progress and your rating/review once you are done reading. Now that I've got that out of the way, did you know you can get goodreads and kindle to sync? This makes it easy to review books (both on Amazon and goodreads), right from your kindle.
Yes, as a previously self-confessed hardcover and paperback book nut, I sheepishly confess that I LOVE my kindle. Before I get cracking on my review, let me tell you what I love most about my kindle.
