pickEven with less than 100 pages, Backman can infuse a story with depth and emotion.
pickThis is a sad story but a heartfelt one … from the beginning you realize this is a special story about Alzheimer‘s/dementia (?)… I really love how Beckman presents different mental health issue in his books loved it … even though it‘s a sad book
so-soWhat a downer. I don't think I want to ever see a memory care unit nor be faced with the possibility of placing a loved one or being placed in one ever. Don't read for a good time, but to induce thought provoking tears over the loss of a pool/lifestyle, and mind.
pickThis novella was on a book list of books that feel like a hug and part of a big library hold list I registered. I usually feel like November is a tough slog, between the time change and weather it kind of sucks the joy out of you. This is a bittersweet book about dementia, generations of family, and love.
Better late than never! Spring 2024 titles! June was a bit of a bust will all of my wedding prep, but I‘m ready to dive back into my stack!📚 #pantonespringchallenge
Hi everyone👋I‘m still around, still breathing, just in the worst book slump of my life & honestly, a little bit of depression too. But I‘m fighting back & going to try and force a few chapters a day to get my book brain back into gear. Books are still coming in so if I don‘t try and read some soon, I‘ll either die under a book avalanche or the hubby will throttle me! So hopefully, I‘ll be around a bit more!🤞🤞🤞(my grandbubba jumping puddles👆)
pickA son visiting his parents in SC. A beautiful neighbor. A father with dementia. A stormy night murder. To protect his father, Joey must understand his father‘s vivid memories of a terrible loss and crime. Digging into the past reveals much more than a motive for murder. My first Goldman, but it will not be my last. Carolina Moonset is a ⭐️⭐️⭐️+ pick for me.
