“Sometimes you need a little crisis to get your adrenaline flowing and help you realize your potential.” ― Jeannette Walls, #TheGlassCastle 📚☕️✒️🌿 I had picked up this #book late last year and started reading it, but then life happened and everything came to a full stop. Two weeks ago, I watch a trailer for the upcoming movie, coming out in August, starring #BrieLarson and remembered, I have this book! So last week, I picked it back up again and started reading. • • • 📚 I love #memoirs and in-fact they are my favorite genre. For me, there is NO better way to understand yourself, other people motives and instill #gratitude better than reading someones personal account. • • • ❤️ Enjoying this book immensely. #JeannetteWalls is a detailed and thoughtful #writer and speaker, which I love. • • • 🌿 I hope to dive back into my own #memoir next year and give it the time and consideration it deserves. • • • ✒️ If you love memoirs, you will LOVE this book! • • • ☕️ Baked coconut, honey bran #muffins this morning and thought they would be a welcome addition to this photo. The #tea is #englishbreakfast with coconut cream. The #vintage miniature candy dispensers and toys were given to me by my husband and thought, they added a thoughtfulness to the scene. #reader #writer #photographer #designer #jewelrydesigner #tealover #teatime #tgif #books #teatimedesignz

I arrived at parenthood with a lot of reluctance- only because I wasn't sure I would do justice in that role. If I had read both these memoirs before the doubts became a certainty, I would have worried far less. Walls has written about her (& her siblings') childhood though rich in experiences but lacking in care, about brilliant parents who were more inclined to spin stories, drink and live with their heads above the clouds than provide the basics- food, clothing, shelter- to their kids. It was infuriating to see the Walls' kids have popcorn for dinner (sometimes the only meal they would get in the day if they did.) Or pee in a bucket because they couldn't afford a home with a washroom. And yet, these kids managed to make something of themselves. They got themselves an education and broke out of the circle of poverty. By the time Walls was living it up at her ranch, her parents had called it quits on their nomadic life and were living out of dumpsters in New York. What endeared the writer to me was that she tried convincing her parents to live with her at various points, but they refused. Eventually, when she built a cabin on her ranch, where they were more comfortable living how they wanted to. 'The Glass Castle' is an important memoir, though it lacks the seemingly effortless bonhomie of 'The Liars Club'. They both are sad, appalling, sometimes even unbelievable. Both are also proof of how resilient the human spirit is. I liked 'The Liar's Club' better, which isn't to say that this memoir is any less. It's just that if you have read one, the other seems paler. 'The Glass Castle' speaks of a damn tough life with a slight shrug of shoulders and an apologetic peep of the dirt under the carpet. 'The Liar's Club' is a celebration of that life, with a smoking gun, a wink, and a shot of tequila to accompany it. #theglasscastle #jeanettewalls #memoirs #recommededreading (at Delhi, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce5uXywrbuh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
