"If people could read the same books, they would inhabit the same world."

Birds chirping all around, cozied up with The Books of Jacob and a freshly brewed coffee in hand and my cat hunting all insects that dare venture on the balcony. Yep, my brain needed this.

Do I have a thousand other books on my TBR? Yes. Did I stumble upon some quote on Tumblr that got me hooked? Also, yes. Have I created a Readalong on The Story Graph for this one to share the hype? Also, again, yes.

Sometimes all you need is to run to the mountains, cozy up in bed and grab your book ⛰️

"We’ve come to Xi’an of our own accord, and we have to accept it as it is. It isn’t as good as what we imagined, but it’s nowhere near as bad as you make it out to be. We have to put up with it, there’s no use complaining. It only makes it more difficult to have a good life here. We have to get Xi’an to accept us, Wufu. We have to believe we can live well here, and see things differently. For instance, if you see a tree by the road that’s been blown over by the wind, think of it as our tree and go straighten it."

I'm only showing you the ebook version so you know what the cover looks like because let me tell you something! This book in audio format has been the best audio production I have ever encountered when it comes to books!! If you have the possibility, do pick it up as an audiobook, even if just to see what a well done one sounds like! 💯
