Inspirational Fiction Books to add hope to your life

Welcome to Owl Book World! For the past couple of months, I have been interested in inspirational fiction books or just inspirational books in general. The last year I have noticed that I haven’t been happy. With covid, a lot has been happening and I’m sure a lot of people are getting depressed just as much as I am. It’s not fun and I’m sure there are just as many people who are getting fed up with it as much as I am. Back in November and December, I started noticing that reading feel-good books or books that just overall inspires you was actually making me feel better.

I know reading feel-good books to make you feel better really isn’t anything new. But a lot of people don’t really think about it or they think it really won’t help. To me, it’s worth a shot to get our mindset back where it needs to be.

Every once in a while I do read inspirational fiction books I just never read many self-help books. But that has changed a lot over the past couple of months. Why? Being negative was getting old and was taking a huge toll on my mental health. I was getting to the point where I was never happy. I was getting burnt out on blogging, burnt out on reading, and I was getting mad over every little thing. It’s getting old and I don’t like being so unhappy.

2022 Book Adaptations to look out for

Hey everyone and welcome to Owl Book World! Today I am talking about 2022 book adaptations. Am I the only one that looks at what books are getting turned into movies the following year? This is something that I try to do nearly every year because I either like finding out if there are any books I have read that are getting an adaptation or if there are any books that I need to check out.

I am definitely one of those people that needs to read the book before the movie. Why? It’s not really for snobbery the movie like a lot of people do. I mostly want to read them before the movie because I know if I don’t then I won’t even bother reading the book. There are so many things that a movie changes or don’t even bother including that it’s almost a sin to not even read the book. So why don’t I bother reading them if I watch the movie first? Most of the time the end result is going to be the same. It’s not very often that the ending of a movie differs from the book. Because of this, I don’t exactly get excited to find out what’s going to happen in the book which makes it hard for me to find any interest in the story.
