Feeling the Feelings

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸: Feeling the Feelings 📚
𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿: Kristin Lillywhite ✍️
.
.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
“Feeling the Feelings” written by the author Kristin Lillywhite is a book worth reading. This book is written in five sections: Joy, anger, justice, shame, loneliness, etc. The author’s therapist suggests that she should notice the thoughts, sensations, and memories that pass through her body. The suggestion is to feel your feelings.

Below lines are from the poem “When Most People Think of Marriage”. In this the author has shared her painful memories of marriage when she tried her best but was still getting blamed.

When most people think of marriage
They think of wedding dates, and colors
They talk of wedding bands and babies
They smile and giggle and flirt
Because they hold each other close,
And have each other.

That’s not what I think of.

“When I see them Happy” is a poem about happy couples who have the right marriage in their first time. The author however has chosen to find her happiness in herself.

The writing style of the author is nice. One could easily relate to these poems. The title of the book is apt and I appreciate the author for the choice of title for this book. Those who enjoy reading poems and short feelings should definitely get their hands on this book.

The author has mentioned that life isn’t always a bed of roses. We face many challenges and hardships that knock us down but God is with us forever.

Through this poetry book, the author gives strength and hope back to the readers. I have got my hands on this book at the right time as I am feeling so low due to current hardships.

I fall on my knees in prayer
My heart breaks because this is not fair
I can’t do this on my own
The weight of my burden breaks every bone
My heart is so broken inside
I can’t run or hide
I’m overwhelmed with grief
I am in disbelief
I am broken far beneath the surface of my skin
You’re the God who will always win

The above lines from the poem “Nothing that You can’t Do” tells the readers that sometimes we are in disbelief because of our pain, grief, etc but God can make the impossible possible. He can do anything.

“He Changed My Mind” is a beautiful poem about how God has changed the author and he would keep changing her so the old her gets stripped away and she lives a new life of being kind and patient.

The writing style of the author is nice. The language used in the poems is simple and I was able to relate to most of the poems. The title of the book is suitable. I enjoyed reading a couple of poems in a single sitting. Those who are fans of poetry or looking for some strength should get their hands on this book.

“Deadsoul: Overture” written by the author Adriene Tabaquero is the first installment in The Deadsoul Book Series. Ms. Grace, the teacher is appreciated by others for her past as Jäger, a hunter who works in the service of the people. The story features Bryce Hughes, Ethan, Adriene, etc. During the Drawing, Adriene was chosen again. But Ms. Grace paired Bryce with Adriene and Oliver with Edward.

Adriene is aggressively average in everything he does. He doesn’t have a refined soul ability like Ethan or the technical skill of Bryce. Ms. Grace explained to Adriene that Ethan and Bryce push themselves closer and closer to their dreams. Power matters the most and being Echoes, Soulless or Soundless doesn’t matter that much.

Adriene wants to help those who can’t help themselves. However, he always feels that his strength is not enough to match his ambitions. Read this story to find out if he will be successful in a fight to have a peaceful world.

The writing style of the author is nice. The language used in the book is lucid. The pace of the story is fine and I wasn’t bored anytime while reading it. The narration is smooth and strong. The simple language would allow the readers to follow the story easily.
