#FridayFeelings. These are what came to mind. I am not much of a crier in real life but books can turn on the waterworks fairly easily with sad or happy tears.

#3books #thatmademecry Sept 2nd

All of these made me sob and have remained with me.

Ok I loved it!!!! It‘s soulcrushing but also uplifting. I came out of this one needing hugs. Just about everyone fails this kid and it made me cry. There‘s a film adaptation of this and it‘s really good too

I was reminded of this book this morning after hearing that a local family was evicted yesterday, and we are expected to have a winter storm starting tomorrow. I know Lean on Pete is out on film, but please read the book. It will give you an entirety new outlook and understanding of “that kid,” the one people label a bad apple or for whom they see a bleak future. It‘s a beautiful reminder of what some folks are enduring while still surviving. ❤️

Just found out one of my favorite authors, Willy Vlautin, has a new book out Tuesday. Yay! I highly recommend his books. And Lean on Pete is now a movie releasing March 30. May have to wait for the dvd. I hate to ugly cry in public.
