Blog Homework: 7/7: Whats on your summer reading list?

9

Hello lovelies!

Thank you again @rambo for all the blog homework! It’s definitely keeping my mind active with topics to write about!

Since it isn’t summer in Australia, (I type as I’ve cocooned myself in my bed covers with my electric heater on as it’s currently 11 degrees celsius outside), the following is my reading list for this winter!

  1. Milk & Honey by Rupi Kaur



I literally just bought this book today and it’s been something I’ve wanted to read for years. Each page has a short poem on it, and many of the pages feature beautiful hand drawn images by Rupi Kaur. The book goes through 4 stages of ‘The Hurting’ ‘The Loving’ 'The Breaking’ and ‘The Healing’ and it is something I wish I had purchased after the expiry of my abusive relationship. The book has already helped me put things into perspective and I highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates poetry or is in a tough head space right now!
  1. The Life Changing Magic of Not Giving a Fuck

I bought this book last year while I was at the airport and only managed to get through half of it on my flight, so this is definitely one I want to finish and cross off! So far, I found the book was really helpful for somebody like me who struggles to say no to people. It explains that you need to organise your ‘fucks’ and who you’re giving your ‘fucks’ to, and about. It definitely helped me to already give less of a fuck about situations out of my control.

  1. Some more Chuck Palahniuk books!

I’ve only read Invisible Monsters and Fight Club written by Chuck Palahniuk, but I’d really love to read some more of his work! I fell in love with his writing style after being recommended by an old room mate.

If you have any suggestions please leave them below!

Lots of love and light,
