I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive | 
pickAbsolutely fantastic! This dark novel tells the story of Doc Ebersole, a broken down addict scraping together an existence on the wrong side of San Antonio in the 60s. Haunted by the ghost of Hank Williams, to whom he may have administered his fatal overdose, he encounters a young woman who changes the course of the lives of everyone around her. The prose is raw, revealing, and gorgeous. I listened on #audio, read by the author/actor. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love 🎶music history but, even at 2x the speed, I found this one dreadfully boring. Not gonna lie, I skipped through the songs, ‘cause even at reg pace, they were not my thing🙄🤷🏻♀️
pickI won this as an IRL Loteria (Mexican bingo) prize a few years back and it‘s now off my TBR. It‘s way outside my comfort zone. The MC is a morphine addicted doctor with a revoked medical license performing back room abortions on S Presa Street in San Antonio - oh, and his near constant companion is the ghost of Hank Williams. I liked it, and understood Doc by book‘s end.

#TBRtemptation post 9! Doc Ebersole lives with Hank Williams' ghost, perhaps because he was the last one to see him alive, giving him a fatal morphine dose. Doc, with his own addiction to it, lost his license and now lives in San Antonio performing abortions and treating gunshot wounds. Then Graciela comes along. She has a wrist wound which never heals, yet heals others with her touch. A ballad of regret & redemption. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
pickThis was recommended to me after reading Bucky F*cking Dent. The words, imagery, quirky storyline and amazing readings by the authors are similar. This story is one man's journey out of hell and how in the end we all seek forgiveness and acceptance. +
