pickRevisited this one - a quick, morbid, yet delightful read. I've been a fan of Caitlin for years, and find her earnest, yet funny approach to the subject of death very refreshing. We all gotta do it - so we might as well aim for a "good death".
“Here's the truth no one ever wants to admit when death is on the horizon, or when you're deep in that grief—as long as you keep existing, you'll keep breathing, and if you're breathing, one day you'll start living again.”
pickYesterday‘s book swap scores while out and about. My sister and her crazy little family are visiting at the moment. We went across to Stockton on the ferry to a monster jumping castle, then to the park, lunch was at Betty‘s Burgers before heading out to do some shopping for my nephew‘s birthday. Home for a wine and a stretch before packing to leave at this ungodly hour, 4am to watch the full dress rehearsal of Frozen That my niece is performing in
pickBeautiful book well written, beautiful life into too soon
