This one was a very fast read. Read it in two days. I am left curious. Not a spiritual person to start, I am fortunate that I already possess an open mind, a character trait this book highly encourages. We don't know all there is to know about this life, the next one, or the last. All we can do in the here and now is remain open, learn, grow, and help those around us. While referencing the Old Testament in the book, I couldn't help but realize⬇️

Jennaree3 That most of these teachings, those of reincarnation, of paying debts and earning your next life, are highly, highly Buddhist teachings. Interesting perspective. 8/10. Category: psychology, reincarnation, psychics 21h

3.75⭐
It's an interesting story, to be sure, but at times the narrative reads more like non-fiction…which wasn‘t all bad…but the POV of the mother was infinitely more engaging than that of the professor. I feel like this should have hit deeper than it did…but that‘s not to say that I didn‘t like it, not at all...the subject matter was captivating and I enjoyed the mystery of it.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

I finished reading about a minute ago, and am typing this review with tears in my eyes. The book ended so beautifully. The story made a lot of twists and turns in its way to the end. It wasn‘t all happy, some parts were very sad and disturbing. This man, Gino, lived quite a life (or lives?). I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and look forward to reading more by this author. I highly recommend this read.

Themes: Epic stories, Multiple timelines, “Big Fish” movie feel (totally agree with you @jdiehr 👍)

This was a very interesting book, at times I felt like there was almost too much going on, but it oddly worked. I keep typing and deleting what I‘ve typed because I don‘t want to spoil anything. I‘m just going to say it was a pick, I‘m glad it was a BOTM option 👍

Unique, romantic, timeless, and lyrical. You have to suspend disbelief for this time-bending love story that reimagines Romeo and Juliet as a love story that never really ends but is reincarnated through the centuries. I recommend this for Shakespeare fans, romantics, anyone who loves an unusual novel that also somehow seems universal. So good! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

bookandbedandtea I enjoyed this. In fact, I was a little surprised how much I liked it, given that I've never been thrilled with Shakespeare's version. 4mo

Two months in a row now, my #botm books have been excellent!

Again and Again is about a man named Eugene who is nearing the end of his life (or, maybe just THIS life) in a nursing home.

BOTM said if you like the movie Big Fish, you will like this book, and I agree 💯

Is Eugene just a batty old man or has he lived multiple lives searching for his true love through them all?

I will be recommending this book again and again...

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I‘m m adding this one to my next box!! 4mo

A bit long-winded & felt like going round & round on the same merrygo round by end, but probably to be expected for a story of reincarnated souls finding themselves in different lives. Twists & turns keep you hooked when learning about a small town girl who lives in Tennessee mountains and rumored to be possessed by a demon bc she has visions of her former lives. Interesting characters and left wanting to know more about the Ousberoune Society
