pickReactivating Everand has enabled me to read a few books very late to the party. Here and there the narrator's lack of self-awareness grated on me a bit, but mostly I found it sweet.

so-soWendy was, without a doubt, an extraordinary individual with many outstanding qualities. Her strength of personality coupled with her incredible drive, determination, and positivity in the face of what for lesser mortals would've been a devastating diagnosis is inspiring and humbling.
However, I was not in the right place for this...perhaps no more medical memoirs for me for a while...
I'm sure others would find this a source of hope.
pickJust read this novella.
pickWhile researching books about #alzheimers and #senility on Litsy, I found this title. I did not care for the reader of this audio book, she sounded high falutin to me (probably because I'm low maintenance West Coast 🇺🇸). But the book hit the spot. It had more to do with Patti's grief given the circumstances of her father's disease and her parents' lack of affection which I can relate to.
pickThis book was a reminder of why I love StoryGraph‘s reading challenges so much. I never would have discovered such a lovely story without #52bookclub25‘s bonus prompt: set in New Zealand. It‘s a mystery that will break your heart to pieces. The author did a fantastic job of bringing the struggles of caring for someone with Alzheimer‘s to the page. I couldn‘t put this book down.
The audiobook was great. She brought Emily‘s emotions to life.

For such a skinny little book, it has an awfully long title

“A long time ago I stopped wondering why there were so many crazy people. What surprises me now is that there are so many sane ones.”
30 yo Ruth quits her job, and goes home to help her aging parents who are losing their memory...so human, spliced with humor.
