Love it! My husband is a true introvert, and I spent years trying to "help" him (mainly to please the people around us, including my parents or other family members who wondered why he was so "quiet"). I have come to love that aspect of him so much, and I have become much more of an introvert myself as I have gone on through life.

Funny...I have always loved fiction and self-help/personal development books, and my husband only reads non fiction. I'm trying my hand at it by reading "Grandma Gatewood's Walk" and "Some Assembly Required" by Anne Lamott....which are both more memoirs but that's my bridge between personal development and NF. haha

Ooooo K!!!! I will read this with you! I tend to read mostly fiction with a little bit of nonfiction thrown in for balance. I didn't read Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, but I watched the movie because Tom Hanks is everything, and I loved it. I was immediately drawn in and felt all the things.

I'm so glad you're giving yourself permission to tiptoe back into fictional waters. It's very nice here, I promise 💙💙💙

If you are giving EL&IC an A+ rating for the movie- I might need to reconsider my decisions! 🩵🤍🩵

p.s. Dying to know what book wrecked you. Mine was actually "The Time Traveler's Wife," which is so siilly, but I refuse to watch the movie too, lol.
