Joan Didion wrote this book in the wake of #Tragedy in her life; the serious illness of her daughter & her subsequent death & the sudden shocking death of her husband in the midst of it. It helped me understand my own grief over losses in my life.💔
“Grief is different. Grief has no distance. Grief comes in waves, paroxysms, sudden apprehensions that weaken the knees and blind the eyes and obliterate the dailiness of life.”
pickThis was recommended to me a few years ago, but I never got around to reading it. The sequel came out recently, and I finally decided to read this one and I absolutely loved it. All of the characters were great and the ending had me on an emotional roller coaster and I just loved it so much. I can‘t wait to read the next one.

@TieDyeDude I still haven't streamed that Philly radio show that you mentioned a few weeks back, but it led to a revelation tonight. I was listening to a favorite artist of mine that I've posted about before - Stas Thee Boss and remembered she is a radio dj on a west coast public radio station, KEXP. But for some reason, it never occurred to me to try to stream her show...until tonight. And it's great! 👇
We hope that your special day is a dream come true @HOTPock3tt and @maich and that every moment is a happy and fun one to remember.
The #birthdayfairies are adding in some of their own magical #birthdaylove as the cherry on top of your celebration. Wishing you both a beautiful day!
Happy, Happy Birthday!!! 🥳🥳

It wasn‘t “The Guncle” but it was still super touching and cute. I love Rowleys writing and he does such a good job as a narrator!
5 friends make a “funeral” pact after one of them dies suddenly. Making sure never to leave anything unsaid.❤️
Alyisha, I just received the most gorgeous, decadent package from you and Moxie Crimefighter! Thank you so much for all the gifts! I feel very spoiled and I can‘t wait to dive into this beautiful book and my new tea! And thank you for another amazing year of #auldlangspine
P.S. Cedric approves, and says bunnies smell weird and amazing and he‘d like to meet one someday!
pickI 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.
pickI 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.
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.
