pick4⭐️ I enjoyed this one, although I felt a bit disappointed with the ending. What I like the most is that it‘s very one-sided; we get to know about Corrigan from the point of views of the main characters, but Blackwood didn‘t give him a single voice. I liked that; it‘s clever that way and I loved her style.
pickA friend of the family gave me, my sister, and my mom this book after my dad died a year ago tomorrow. I‘ve been reading a page a day, as it is organized by calendar days. I do think it helped. There were some common themes that resurfaced throughout the year. It at least regularly gave me the space once a day to work through my grief. As the book mentioned, there is no set time for when it will feel better. A year later doesn‘t stop the hurt.
so-soThis book is a bit of a mess. I have no idea why I bought it in the first place but that was in 2008 so a few years ago 😀
It is about grief and the First World War and quantum physica and animal sex and traveling in Latin America. Well, it fits the #SomePlaceCold prompt for #FictionalTraveler2025!

I am reading the unputdownable The Wedding People. Super curious to find out where the story goes. Next will be the oldest book on my tbr (the tagged one) for #FictionalTraveler. Maybe there‘s time for another Banana Yoshimoto as well 🤞🏽
so-so#doublespin for Jan - the writing was beautiful, this just wasn‘t my cup of tea. Found it a bit of a slog.
pickI found this edition while scanning the shelves in an indie bookstore in Seattle. It was a quick read with a lot of familiar information and ideas—but EKR is always worth reading. I honestly can‘t get enough of books on these topics! The world needs more of them. Death Care and Death Education can be so different, if we allow it to be. Shown: snowberries at Snoqualmie Falls in WA.
