Bag #3 done with Jane, only 1 more to go. My hold for this finally came in and I had no idea what it was about
Am motivated to get all my affairs in order as well as know what really needs to happen when. My niece is going through this situation and it astonishes me how one assumes things but have no idea of the logistics. For example, a company that offers 2 times salary life insurance… how and when is that distributed, does it get considered into probate, etc etc. I think I will purchase this - does anyone know of a more recent guidebook?
pickThis book features a conversation about the right to die movement and its legalization in America. The author speaks to supporters and non-supporters, but most of the discussions are very affirming. Laws have expanded since this book came out, so that MAID (medical aid in dying) is more accessible now. There is a documentary on PBS for these interviews. As each conversation about MAID does, this book touched my heart and only reaffirmed my ⬇️
My October TBR for #Bookspin, #HauntedSelf, and #CasttheDie (first 13 with the tagged as my Lucky Book), plus several alternates since I have so many newer titles on my TBR and those are sometimes difficult to acquire in a timely manner without breaking the budget. (And because I was too excited about spooky reading to stop at 20.)
And here's Camille, making sure I'm doing it right.

pickSo sad. Beautifully written, a lovely tribute.
so-soOk so the end was really good, which made me second guess how I felt about the entire thing. But I‘m staying strong! It was decent, but too long. I didn‘t care about half of the characters, which is the risk you take when having so many! And I sort of wanted all of the predictions to come true, 😆 (34)
⭐️: 3.25/5
pickRead this for bookclub this past Friday. We had a good time. Would you want to know how and when you will die? This book starts off with this woman on a plane from Hobarth to Sydney. She just goes down the rows pointing and predicting how and when people will die. Bless this author for all the details she gives her characters as we follow their lives to see if the predictions will come true. A book about death that has so much life. Pick!
pickAs Alua says, “Holy f***ing shit!” I love the way Alua shares what she hopes for as she envisions of her own death. This memoir is well written and beautifully she gives us examples how those with whom she has coached during their deaths. A death doula walking a special path with others during such an emotional process. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickThis was a strange, strange journey. I‘m not sure how to feel about this book nor how to describe it. I guess it seems like how a bad acid trip would be. Two different tales of another‘s demise but I‘m not that either informs the other. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
