Inheriting Magic: My Journey Through Grief, Joy, Celebration, and Making Every Day Magical by Jennifer Love Hewitt

challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring lighthearted medium-paced

4.0

i read the book and afterwards listened to the audio book and both are worth the time but different experiences from each other. 

Hewitt reads the book and you can hear the emotions she felt while writing specific moments -the grief and sadness talking about her mother, but also the love and eagerness for specific moments and topics. 
it makes the book felt a bit more personal, a bit more memoir feeling instead of a book filled with ideas and inspirations to also fill the readers life with little magical moments. 

i recommend both highly if you want something that reminds you that you can find reminders and love and hope and yes magic in little moments and/or holidays. 

if that doesn’t sound like you type of book? don’t read this. 
but if it sounds like something fitting to you? 
divide your format and go for it! it’s not a huge commitment but worth the time spend it just too experience of a different persons life and their small moments of life that made it special to them and how it can inspire you. 

and also how grief and sadness is very much part of life and okay to feel and experience as long as you need - Hewitt reminded me a lot of that and i think sometimes that is necessary to be reminded of. 
be it the grief for a person or a life or a moment or a situation…. grief needs to be felt .

and especially in the audio book i think that is very clearly felt.
