Welcome to Litsy!

I had never heard of this Seuss book but I saw it in my LFL. It was cute, I picked it up for an older (83) relative.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

Playing catch up here as I got a new phone and can't download the Litsy app, thus using the desktop site!
Very keen to read this but it took a bit of perseverance. The characters all seemed self involved and critical of each other, hardly friendly... But I did stick with it and enjoyed the overall story.

Adele (a broke &once successful actress),Wendy (an intellectual & once acclaimed writer)&Jude (a former restaurant manager) gather at Sylvie‘s beach home to clean out the house so that Sylvie‘s daughter can sell it. Sylvies‘s death impacts their relationship in ways none of them could have anticipated.They all deal with grief, aging & other losses differently. Wonderfully relatable, beautifully written. Switching points of view is so

@CSeydel I started this on audio today and can already tell that it will affect me deeply. As a former hospice nurse, I‘m very aware of unnecessary and often more painful medical interventions that hurt rather than help. There is such a thing as a “good” death, one that allows quality of life in those last days/months rather than quantity. #ALSpine25 @monalyisha

My parent have come into town to celebrate the holidays and my mom gave me this adorable book gnome! She comes with little books and even a book worm! I can‘t wait to find the perfect little spot for her ones we take down all the Christmas decorations !

I'm not crying; you're crying 😭

“One of the wonderful things about fictional characters is that they can illustrate for us, in particularly memorable ways, aspects of the human experience that we might otherwise fail to appreciate.”

My cat Boots is not a fictional character, but here she is!

Interesting. A bit of a scary topic as it makes clear that we are woefully unprepared, at the present time, to deal with the results of expanding life expectancy.
