My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I would normally have avoided a book like this. However, my cities head librarian said this is a book everyone, everywhere should read. So I figured I’d give it a shot (it’s also shorter).
Librarian was right (of course)! I very much enjoyed this one.
It’s five different peoples stories, at different points in life, whom all end up at a library and given books (and a felt craft item) that leads them to their next step in life. For all of them it’s a new start to a new stage of their life. The five stories are unique, and two of them tie direct to my old career in the magazine industry. The author also worked in the insane magazine world and clearly learned the same things I did. That it’s okay if your job isn’t your life, and that who we are is not just our career. It can be more personal and better than just what we do for a living.
If you need a book to convince you to switch things up, make something ‘more’ of yourself, or to find a new endeavour this is definitely a book you should read. I can see it inspiring people who don’t even know they need inspiration; or, alternatively, reinforcing that people are where they should be. A well recommended book for every individual out there.
