pickI love to listen to intelligent people muse on the beginnings of life. This one is from a physicist‘s perspective and my mind is altered each time I listen to these types of audiobooks. Do I understand it all? Oh, my no! But it doesn‘t dampen my enthusiasm. And I love to learn about the processes scientists/biologists/etc undertake in this field of study.
so-soDare I say that parts of this memoir were a little…boring? I was expecting something a little different from a final ‘lecture‘, but I‘ll read just about anything from someone who is dying, because I think there‘s a unique perspective and story for each individual experience. (Therefore, I don‘t regret reading it). I‘ve known two other people with this diagnosis and each life was very different. In reading this, I honor their memory.

pick#JulyJazz Day 5: This is a gorgeously-illustrated title that demonstrates our one-ness with everything around us: from the tree to its fruits, from the wind to the bees, from the roots to the sky. It is an ode to nature, and the fact that we are #indivisible from it. It is told in such a lyrical way and the art is absolutely gorgeous.
so-so3✨ I‘m honestly not sure when I got this book, but I‘ve had it for a long while. I‘m glad I finally picked it up, and found out it was about a girls life. In the short story we grow up with our MC through the good the bad, and the love of small town life. I really liked her, and her family. What I didn‘t like was the writing bounced around within the characters head spontaneously. While it followed a natural timeline it moved around in chapters.
pickInspiring book about aspects of life that involve deep reflection!
“The ability to adapt to loss, cope with death, and express grief is critical for healthy childhood development. All the Dear Little Animals can be used to introduce the topic of death and dying to children due to the structure of the text, engaging illustrations, and appropriate wording.“ Read the full review here: https://wowlit.org/on-line-publications/review/xvii-2/3/
pickA memoir rather than a traditional biography, but nonetheless a great story about an amazing man. I read this when I was in college over 20 years ago and felt compelled to revisit Morrie. Mitch Albom is a great story teller and the way he captures Morrie‘s warmth and wisdom makes it feel like you‘re sitting in the room with them. Book #29 in 2025
