I‘ve finished for Christmas….I survived this semester.
Meeting friends for tea but I‘m early, so reading it is.
pickDevastating. 😢 A reminder there is serious work for the Americas to do with respect to racism against Indigenous peoples and the consequences stemming from colonialism. Heavy prices continue to be paid, even by the most vulnerable.
pickThis was really well written. Not quite what I expected. I thought maybe it would be more like Stiff by Mary Roach, but this was more of a memoir about a woman who worked in a crematorium. Very insightful and interesting to read about her experience. A little dark, but overall I liked this one.
pickI like books that deal with death and grief and how to process it.
I found this book interesting since it focused on helping the patients and their loved ones prepare for death and come to terms with any regrets they‘ve had in their life.
Even though I enjoyed the book, I found it slow at times, but I am glad I put it down and came back to it. It ended up being a story that will stick with me for a while.

Very promising, this book that I just started. Three sisters are spread across the world but the death of their fourth sister brings them all back to the place they grew up, NYC
My first #HyggehourReadathon turned into a family reading session with the pups. Made myself a virgin hot toddy, lit a candle, and wrapped up in a blanket and my LL Bean slippers. A delightful end to a busy holiday weekend.

I finished this one yesterday & just loved it. I had put off reading it because I was thought it would be sad based on the main character being a death doula. Instead it was sweet & touching & a good message about living life so you have no or (at least less) regrets. There were sad moments but also happy, hopeful ones too. Charming & engaging, it snuck in at the end of the year as one of my favorites of the books I read in 2024.
Thank you so much, @TieDyeDude for this amazing #stockingstufferswap gift! My fave chocolate, two perfect book choices and that gnome book protector 😍😍😍 all the love!!! Cannot wait to light the candle, brew up some tea, and read! (And it‘s actually cold and gross in SC this week, so it‘s a perfect time for it! @Avanders
