One of the taglines of this book (on the second cover) is “Your life can change in a heartbeat...” & with the story of Vivi who suffers a heart attack on her 27th birthday, monitoring her #heartbeat becomes a part of her life as her heart condition puts her on the transplant list. This book (a recent book tour review for me) makes important points about organ donation & although not maudlin, definitely requires a few tissues. 😥

KarenUK Stacked!.... my hubby is going to go on the transplant list (probably fairly soon) for double lung transplant (he has CF).... sounds like a good read👍💕 (edited) 5y

DebinHawaii @KarenUK It‘s a good read. Best wishes for your husband. 💜💜💜 5y

Murder on Birchleaf Drive: The True Story of the Michelle Young Murder Case | Steven B. Epstein

pick

I‘m hopelessly behind on reviews but this one fits the bill for the #lilithjuly prompt #heartbeat so here we are.

Michelle Young is mother to a toddler and 20 weeks pregnant when she is found brutally murdered. Her husband was away on a business trip, so 2 year old Cassidy was alone for hours, walking thru the crime scene, before an aunt came by.

Husband returned home straight away but from the start he refused to talk to investigators. 🧐🤔

Reviewsbylola The 2 year old was left alone with her dead mom for 9 hours. 😭 She walked all through the blood and smeared it on the walls. She even put her baby doll with her dead mom. 😞 @Cinfhen 5y

KarenUK Sounds horrifying... I can‘t read true crime.... it freaks me out! 5y

Reviewsbylola I‘m the opposite. I can‘t stop reading it. 😆 @KarenUK 5y

Megabooks That is horrifying! I can only read some true crime, and I don‘t think I could read this one. 😓😓 Was it the husband? Put it in spoiler tag please. 5y

Reviewsbylola Yes @megabooks and it was pretty obvious from the get go but there was really no forensic evidence tying him to it so it was a looooong road to a conviction. 5y

Cinfhen That‘s so sad 😢😢😭how is it possible that no one in the family checked in on them for 9 hours!?!!??? 5y

Wonderful book about Richard 1. Vying with Henry V for the all English King title. Once King he actually only spent about 6 months in the country. Fascinating character, brilliant read 👍🏻

The Heart: A Novel | Maylis de Kerangal

#LilithJuly #Heartbeat
This novel is so unique.... Some of the longest sentences of any book I've ever read, but WOW are those sentences gorgeous.
The MC is an actual physical heart of a young surfer, his organ treated as the 'protagonist' of the story. As we see his life and the life of those around him destroyed, we see his heart bring life to another. This beautifully translated story is about the nature of grief and the human capacity to love.

The Stranger Beside Me | Ann Rule

I fully admit my #heartbeat raced a bit while reading this nonfiction look at Ted Bundy. If you didn‘t realize it, Ann Rule knew Bundy, so her insights into her personal relationship with him are documented here. #LilithJuly
