Amanda’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for In the Spirit of Christmas: A Christmas Carol

In the Spirit of Christmas: A Christmas Carol by William Beck

3 highlights

It’s not the moment you lose someone that tears at the soul, but instead that first time you find yourself reaching out for comforts lost.

“When I’m quiet I can hear my heart yearning for impossible things. I want a perfectly pared-down home, and I want to hang on to every scrap of the past. I want a break from my kids without missing a single minute of their lives. I long for a partnership, and I long for freedom. I long to be enmeshed with someone without losing myself. I want all of it. Maybe”
― Annabel Monaghan, Summer Romance

“But it’s OK to feel happy and sad at the same time. Very few moments involve just one emotion. That’s life”
― Libby Page, This Book Made Me Think of You

“Control was antithetical to life. To be alive is to be battered about. To endure and adapt and keep stumbling onward despite it all.”
― Jennifer Thorne, Diavola

“The right book in the hands of the right person at exactly the right moment can change their life forever.”

“All those moments throughout the days, weeks, months that don't get marked on calendars with hand-drawn stars or little stickers.
Those are the moments that make a life.
Not grand gestures, but mundane details that, over time, accumulate until you have a home, instead of a house.
The things that matter.
The things I can't stop longing for.”
― Emily Henry, Funny Story
