Bookends: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Literature

by Zibby Owens

Books, for me, are lifesaving. They have been my companions, my teachers, my entertainment, my emotional outlets, my escape. They’ve taught me how to cook, how to love, how to mourn, how to cope, and how to feel. They’ve allowed me to sort through my own feelings and escape into someone else’s.

I had borrowed this book from a library on my kindle. That meant that I only had 14 days to read it. If I were to buy the book I would love to research each of the book titles she mentioned. Some I had already read and found that she and I felt the same way about those books.
