My current read

My apologies for not posting as often. My mental and physical health took a nose dive. Then I burned my hand. Just annoyed right now. But anyways, I've been doing MUCH better as far as handling my grief. I've been taking Ashwaghanda Gummies religiously and they're SOOOOOO much better than anything I've ever taken for depression and anxiety. They REALLY help me sleep at night. So there's that. 
   But anyways, I've been reading some books lately that aren't grief related and one of them is a book called The Space Between Words. It's SO FREAKING GOOD, oml. I'm almost done with it. It's about this girl and her two best friends/roommates who are in Paris, France in 2015 during the Terrorist attacks. The main character, her name is Jessica, she's shot and also saw the whole thing, her best friend, Patrick, unfortunately was one of the first ones shot and her other friend, Vonda, had to go back to Colorado to track down Patrick's parents to let them know their son is gone. Of course, since Jessica had to go through all that trauma, her mind wouldn't process at first that her best friend had been killed so in her mind, he convinced her to go to Balazuc to stay in a B&B so he could finish his trip. On the second day there, they find an old sewing kit, made by a Hugenot in the 1600s. This turns out to have been a hiding place for her Bible and old journal, recounting her life and her family. So she embarks on this journey with the people she was staying with to England to try to figure out what happened to the rest of the family that had escaped. I just finished the rest of it and let me tell you, this book is amazing. I highly recommend reading this!
I'm starting two other books. I'll let you know about them too.
