"It was enlightening to see that you were a proponent of manscaping when you were alive. I'd hate to think you'd neglect it only to spend your time here with a topiary garden in your pants." - Nelson

????Nelson ragging on Wallace does not get old. This guy is by far one of my favorite characters ever.????

4✨ This book was about those that either had someone pass on who came back to comfort them, or those who passed the veil for a brief time. Those that came back provide encouragement that there is something else after this life. As a person of faith this brings me comfort that this life isn‘t the end. That those we love and miss who have left us are still out there waiting for our time. I wish this was actually written in the POV of the witnesses.

I don‘t like kitschy. I don‘t like sappy. So I was quite worried about this. It surprised me. Eddie dies trying to save young girl in a Ferris wheel accident. We know it‘s coming, so don‘t worry, that‘s not a spoiler! ☺️ The narrative follows him as he meets 5 important people in his life. I enjoyed the contemplative nature, the inter-connectedness of humanity. If you want to get off the roller-coaster and take a nice swan boat ride, this is it.

Completed a fiction and nonfiction from my TBR pile this week 😃

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⬇️

Doing some #audiocrafting tonight. This book is a trip!! #huey #catsoflitsy

February book club pick: a multilayered story that follows a complex character in his journey to the afterlife. I don‘t think I‘ve read anything quite like this story and I can tell why it won the booker prize!
