by Laura L. (Providence, RI) The Journal Keeper
This book is not light material. She touches on items such as death, relationships, spirituality, being a writer. At times I found myself swept into her emotional world. She teaches the reader how to think about writing , and what internal life is like for a writer. She also muses about being alone vs. in a relationship. She put words to a lot of different subjects. This book is not for everyone, and some might find the first part depressing ( I did at times). If you don't mind a serious read I recommend this book.

by Barbara A. (Roswell, GA) The Journal Keeper inspires The Journal Keeper is a book for people who like to reflect while reading, whether it be on their own personal lives when something in Theroux's own experiences resonates or on the bigger picture of the world around us.
I earmarked a large number of pages so that I can go back and delve more deeply into interesting tidbits, stories, quotes.
It seems to be a great book for a writers' group or writing program. It inspired me to pick journaling back up. I really enjoyed reading this book!

She shares her reading list of books and authors who have inspired her. What a generous soul.
