A weekly meme created by Shanah at Bionic Book Worm, now hosted by the amazing Meeghan at Meeghan reads.
Today we are taking a look at the books I wish I had read when I was younger. This requires some serious thinking, maybe. Though I do have couple in mind already!
We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie | Furiously Happy by Jenny Lawson | The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson | The Giver by Lois Lowry | A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
All of these above pretty much deal with mental health, dealing with your feelings and rights. And even though I have learned a lot from each of these books, and hold them close to my heart every day, I think I would not be such a mess at this point of life if I had read them way younger.
I mean I’m 27 and I’m a mess still. All I ever learned as a kid from home was to hide every single feeling because by showing them, you’ll just get hurt. I have never had anyone to talk to, anyone who actually listens to me and is genuinely interested of me, of listening me. My mental health is a mess and even during this day, I have a hard time showing any type of feelings. With my own kids, I have obviously had to learn a lot about all that. And it is easy with them.
But all in all, I think all of the books shown above would have helped me growing up a lot! Sorry I made it all sad and depressing again but I wanted to truly think about books that honestly would have thought me while growing up.

Oh Hanna!! Sending you so much love!! I’m so pleased that Jenny Lawson made your list. I’ve been following her blog on and off for almost a decade now, and she makes me laugh so much, but she’s also quite insightful. 💕

💕 That book is so good! Maybe even more because it makes you see “the bright” side kind of, through all the humor.
