Pillow Thoughts

A wonderful collection of heartfelt poems, devided into sections like "heartbreak" or when youre dreaming of someone. In this book, and honestly all other "Pillow Thoughts" books, Courtney Peppernell puts all those feelings into words that we often forget how to say out loud or just don't know how. I love poetry collections, the fact that you can just read whatever fits your mood best without having to remember a complex storyline might be the reason why I picked up "Pillow Thoughts" in the first place, but I stayed because after it felt as if some unspoken feelings finally have words, as if I finally knew what it actually meant... If you enjoy Rupi Kaur I highly encourage you to try Courtney Peppernell too!

Honestly, Pillow Thoughts by Courtney Peppernell is one of those books you don’t just read — you feel it. It’s like this beautiful collection of poems and short texts that dive deep into all the messy, confusing, and powerful emotions we all go through every single day. Whether it’s love, heartbreak, self-doubt or hope, this book somehow manages to put into words exactly what you’re feeling but maybe can’t say out loud. What I loved most is how simple and real the language is. The poems aren’t long or complicated, but they hit you right in the feels. It’s like talking to a really good friend who just gets you, even when you’re struggling to understand yourself. There’s so much comfort in that—like you’re not alone in the chaos of your emotions. Some poems made me cry like a baby, some made me smile, and others gave me this warm feeling of hope that maybe things will be okay. Sometime. It’s the kind of book you want to keep by your bedside and open whenever you need a little reminder that healing is possible and that your feelings matter. Also, it’s super easy to read when you’re tired or overwhelmed, because it doesn’t demand a ton of focus but still leaves a big impact. If you’re looking for something to help you process your emotions or just want to feel understood, Pillow Thoughts is the perfect little treasure. It’s honest, raw, and somehow really comforting all at once. Seriously, it feels like a warm hug wrapped in words—and who doesn’t need that every now and then?

Wow... Dieses Buch hat mich tief berührt. Courtney Peppernell hat mit ihren Texten ein wunderschönes Buch geschaffen, welches sich wie eine Umarmung anfühlt. Man fühlt sich verstanden und merkt, dass man nicht alleine ist mit vielen Gedanken und Gefühlen. Einfach wunderschön!

I can only recommend this one, I love the pillow thoughts and it speaks to you in a very soft and comfortable way. The system is pretty similar to Rupi Kaur ones, where you can browse through different moods, that you can easily find.

Dieses Buch kann ich jedem ans Herz legen, der englische Gedichtbände liebt. Ich fand es großartig, berührend und wundervoll geschrieben!
