The Next Person You Meet in Heaven: The sequel to The Five People You Meet in Heaven |

One book down for January. Interesting and touching sequel to The Five People You Meet in Heaven. Now it‘s off to the LFL.
For this month‘s readathon I want to finish seven books, and more if possible.

pickNot my favorite Albom book, but still a neat read.
pickEveything and everyone is connected
pick🎧 Good sequel! I liked the time shifts in the story that slowly show the story unfolding Annie‘s life from birth until the ending. Complete character development! Good twist. Fast easy read. The narrator is good, you‘ll want to listen again.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
pickI just love Mitch Albom's writing. Fiction or non, it doesn't matter. I love how this picked up from the first book, years later. My favorite Albom fiction is still The Time Keeper, and non-fiction is Have a Little Faith. Finding Chika was amazing too, better in audiobook. He reads them himself; that matters.
pick“We are blinded by our regrets…We don‘t realize who else we punish while we‘re punishing ourselves.”-one of my favorite qoutes from this book.
This book is a sequel to #TheFivePeopleYouMeetInHeaven. It got even more interesting to have found out the other side of the story. Another set of learnings. Another heartfelt story.
pickJust as good as the first
so-soBook 6 of 2021: This is the sequel to one of my all time favourite books (the five people you meet in heaven) - so it was a welcome re-visit to a familiar world. The sequel doesn't have quite the same spark for me though, but I still enjoyed the journey.
pick“The Next Person You Meet In Heaven” by Mitch Albom to the original book “The Five People You Meet In Heaven” The original book followed a man (Eddie) through his journey in Heaven after was killed by being crushed by a carnival ride while trying to save a young girl, Annie. In this sequel book we follow Annie‘s own journey through heaven. In this book Heaven is depicted as going through 5 people who had a significant affect on your life.

I liked this one even more than the original, which I was not expecting to like at all. 😅 The Lord works in mysterious ways. #BookSpinBingo
Started this one yesterday for #BookSpinBingo. I didn‘t read the first one on audio but the author‘s voice somehow sounds just like I imagined it would. 🎧
pickSequel to The 5 People you Meet in Heaven. Audio and making cards ✉️✉️

pickTo grasp the essence of this book it has to be read soon after “The Five People You Meet in Heaven”.‘ It not only explains that book but also them together makes this into a truly unforgettable reading experience. I thoroughly believe in Albom‘s concept of the way things work, that we are all connected. But, most importantly, I felt like I was there with all of them in Heaven. By the end, tears were running down my face. Unforgettable! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Waiting for my new granddaughter to be born any day now.

This is captivating, reading this soon after reading “The Five People You Meet in Heaven” again. I don‘t want to put it down but work calls. (Sigh)
so-soThis is exactly the kind of book my grandma would give me.
pickMy belated review. This is a very short read—one night for me and I‘m a slow reader. This is an uplifting follow-up to the first book, but I don‘t think it is as compelling as Five People. Annie‘s life story is good but it just wasn‘t as jaw-dropping as Eddie‘s. Five People was masterful. This book feels like the author now has a formula and can just churn out these stories. I hope he doesn‘t. A very good read but it doesn‘t need a sequel.
"Poignant and beautiful, filled with unexpected twists, The Next Person You Meet in Heaven reminds us that not only does every life matter, but that every ending is also a beginning—we only need to open our eyes to see it." –Amazon
What more can I say... it's just one of those books...5*****
pickTHE NEXT PERSON YOU MEET IN HEAVEN is a touching and thought-provoking chronicle of the impact of daily interactions on the lives of others. This short and simple story is written in the same easy style... https://www.bluestockingreviews.com/blog/the-next-person-you-meet-in-heaven
I *loved* (like it was almost life-changing it was so good) the first book years ago and I expect this one to be emotional as well. Excited to make it my #LetterN book for #litsyatoz
pick#24B4Monday #readathon #popjargame
First book up and finished with a total of just over two hours read. Next up from my jar pick is Two by Two by Nicholas Sparks (not a romance fan but it‘s the library bookclub pick).
pick5⭐️
This book touches on a wide variety of diverse topics including trauma, depression, pregnancy, death (of others in your life), relationships, guilt and more. It is an emotional rollercoaster that pushes you to think more on yourself and reflect how your actions influences those around you but also how the past impacts your future (even if you don't have a direct connection to it).

@julesG so I was ready to pick up our buddy read but then school and work has just hit me really hard and has swamped me for the next several days. Because of that I just don‘t see myself being able to get through another fantasy book due to my lack of concentration 😫 Hopefully I can pick it back up soon and I can see how you liked it once I get to it 😢 Sorry for having to bail because I was so looking forward to the book!
#mpls #twincities
pickFinally finished one of my Christmas gifts-Mitch‘s new sequel. For me, it was worth the 14-year wait. 🥳 But you must read this one right after “Five People” to fully appreciate it. I loved revisiting Eddie, learning even more about him and then finding out all about the little girl he tried to save. And I was so pleased to read a beautiful segment about how our beloved pets are patiently waiting to see us again in heaven. Of course they are!
I also got this one practically new at HPB. I loved the Five People You Meet in Heaven and @KristenDuck made me aware that this sequel exists. So....#blameitonLitsy
pickAnnie, the girl who was saved by “Eddie Maintenance” in The Five People You Meet In Heaven is now on her own personal journey, and we also learn what happened to her immediately following the accident fifteen years ago.
Loved this sequel to one of my all-time favorite books. A very touching read with so much heart.
I recommend this to all fans of Mitch Alvin‘s first, The Five People, and anyone who believes that there‘s going to be answers.
pickI was nervous cause this woman was about to turn 31 and so am I. Then I just got caught up in her world. I liked who she met along the way and I like that it wasn‘t like Eddie‘s story. She needed the hope that her journey gave her and I like it.
About the author: He operates an orphanage in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
Acknowledgment: Finally, my deepest thanks to my readers, who continue to surprise me, inspire me, motivate me and bless me.
Time passed. Like flakes shaken in a snow globe...
...their routines intertwined, like paint colors fading into each other.
Love cones when you least expect it. Love comes when you most need it. Love comes when you are ready to recieve it or can no longer deny it.
There is no such thing as a nobody.
That is how salvation works. The wrongs we do open doors to do right.
On eafth, we get the what of things. The why takes little longer.
War is the ssme every when and where.
...We embrace our scars more than healing...
Secrets. We think by keeping them, we are controlling things, but all the while, they are controlling us.
