Pillow Thoughts Paperback – August 29, 2017

I recently read Pillow Thoughts, and it really took me by surprise in the best way. It’s a heartfelt, emotional collection of poetry and prose that touches on love, heartbreak, healing, and self-worth. The writing is simple and direct, but that’s what makes it relatable. It feels like you’re reading someone’s deepest late-night thoughts, which makes the title pretty fitting.The book is divided into sections like “If You’re in Love,” “If You’re Heartbroken,” “If You’re Lonely,” etc., so you can flip to the part that fits your mood. That format made it really comforting for me, i could read a few pages at a time when I needed some emotional clarity or just wanted to feel understood.

These books are so real. I have recommended them to so many of my loved ones. They genuinely make the reader feel heard.

*I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review*Simply put, I found this collection to be absolutely beautiful. Each poem was thoughtful and moving and an absolute joy to read. It touched my life at a time when I needed it most, so I could not help falling in love with Pillow Thoughts. Peppernell’s writing flows perfectly, and her poetry paints a stunning picture of life’s ups and downs. She eloquently coveys every poem—breathes life into them—and gives them a great amount of depth. These poems are the sort that readers can truly connect with, and each person’s interpretation will be different. They reach into every corner of our hearts and remind us that it is okay for us to feel—gives us a raw and vivid portrayal of what it is to be human.This is a collection that I believe most people will be able to connect with and find meaning in. Every piece is straightforward yet incredibly profound—very accessible for anyone, no matter who they are or where they are in life. I found comfort in these words as they told me that I am not alone, even when I’m feeling lonely in the midst of my troubles. These poems transcend their own simplicity to create a meaningful depiction of the most basic and universal experiences we face in our lives. The reader will find their own unique meaning depending on their personal lives, and take away what their soul is craving at that moment. I look forward to reading more of Peppernell’s work in the future.

For most of my adult life I have grown to love reading all kinds of poetry. At times I have enjoyed reading all of Shakespeare’s literature as well as great ancient and contemporary poets. While recently browsing the poetry books section on Amazon I came across this fantastic 272-page soft cover volume (Pillow Thoughts by Courtney Peppernell) of poetry and decided to purchase it.Right from the first pages I liked the way the author organized this thought-provoking collection of poems. Indeed, her thoughts flowed like a gentle stream on a fall day. She broke down her collection of poetry into the following topic areas:“If you are dreaming of someone, if you are in love, if you are heartbroken, if you are lonely, if you are sad, if you are missing someone, if you need encouragement, and other areas.I found this to be a thoughtful and heart felt poetry book many people would enjoy reading.Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Season of the warrior: A poetic tribute to warriors).

A wonderful book for people going through the motions of love, loss and healing. I would recommend this to anyone.

COOL

It is such an easy read, but so powerful. The poems it self were captivating and so emotional, I love the design on the book, having all this jellyfish. I really fell in love with poems with this book, it talks about heartbreak, feeling lost, missing people, learning to love again, and many more poems that I think every person can relate.

It's good, has quite a few good poems and rhymes in it that I haven't heard of before. However, it does have a few corny ones that you probably heard of just said differently without over complicating words. I hear it gets better with the later books. I'll get the second one once I fully finish this one, otherwise it's a decent starter for this kind of various poems.
