I am not sure I have words to describe how much I love this book… so beautifully told in a way that I could see glimpses of myself within the pages! Everyone needs to read this book!
“The secret to a beautiful death is living a beautiful life”

Librarybelle I just finished this one and completely agree! 1d

I would have loved this book if I read it when it was first published. I loved Lennie‘s family, the exploration of grief, and of course, Joe. I could have done without the love triangle, Toby (sorry, not sorry) and the choices Lennie made, but I enjoyed the journey.

My white dog Pooh Bear is getting older. I am, too. Maybe that‘s why I finally picked up Terry Kay‘s book about a widowed Southerner facing mortality and read it. Though first published in 1990, it‘s still pure poetry to read and a beautiful testament to small towns, the South, and family, and the realities of loss and mortality. And it features a dog who may be a ghost, or a real one. Kay keeps you guessing. Highly recommended!

I was looking for something quick to read….i wasn‘t sure what to expect with this shorter story but I did enjoy this even if it was def on the heavy and darker side.

Remarkable debut novel about a death doula who learns how to live her life & to face her regrets.

I was captivated by the writing & had a very hard time putting this down. I recognized some of myself in Clover. Her compassion is also very inspiring. This is a quiet novel with a lot to unpack & reflect upon, how to live one‘s life, how to face regrets, and how to take that leap. Tissues needed!

“Grief is just love looking for a place to settle.”

Librarybelle A friend prompted me to read this for a discussion meet up, and I am so glad I did. Very thought provoking. 5 star, highly recommended. 4d

So, I don‘t know. Half-way in and I don‘t really know what this is about. There are a lot of tangents and a lot of quotes from other people.

The Measure | Nikki Erlick

Out of nowhere every person on the planet over the age of 22 receives a small box containing a string, the length of which will tell you just how long your life will be. Some choose to look, others do not. But the world quickly arrives at all kinds of opinions, public policies, and judgements about short-stringers and long-stringers. It‘s a fascinating and timely exploration of what constitutes the quality and measure of a life.
