“The ability to adapt to loss, cope with death, and express grief is critical for healthy childhood development. All the Dear Little Animals can be used to introduce the topic of death and dying to children due to the structure of the text, engaging illustrations, and appropriate wording.“ Read the full review here: https://wowlit.org/on-line-publications/review/xvii-2/3/

Tuesdays with Morrie | Mitch Albom
post image
Pickpick

A memoir rather than a traditional biography, but nonetheless a great story about an amazing man. I read this when I was in college over 20 years ago and felt compelled to revisit Morrie. Mitch Albom is a great story teller and the way he captures Morrie‘s warmth and wisdom makes it feel like you‘re sitting in the room with them. Book #29 in 2025

🇨🇦 what an absolute roller coaster ride of a delightful book! We meet 5 people and a fish who live at the Seville on Roxy and follow the chaotic domino effect of choices they all make/have made leading up to the 30 minutes we spend with them and see how it all plays out. So much fun, what an adrenaline rush this story is

Gift from the Sea | Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Pickpick

I first read this book back in 2012 and knew it was one I wanted to find and add to my own collection. Lindbergh writes from a seaside cottage where she is on holiday, each chapter looking at a different seashell and using it to reflect on a different aspect of life. Published in 1955, it was an era where woman were still mostly home-focused, but with advancing technology opening up more time and opportunities for them. I found her thoughts on ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) the importance of seeking solitude, finding creative work/hobbies, understanding and accepting that relationships go through cycles, and finding ways to take time to ground yourself to be thoughtful and encouraging.

TheAromaofBooks At only 128 pages, this is a slim volume and I enjoyed chewing on a chapter a day. I've been meaning to revisit this one for years, and thanks to the #MonthlyNonfiction challenge I picked up this 128 (Philosophy/Epistemology/Humankind) and checked the 100s off the list!! @julieclair

julieclair Love that vintage edition! I have owned this book for years, I suppose it‘s time I read it. 🤪 2mo
TheAromaofBooks @BooksandCoffee4Me @julieclair - This one definitely benefited from only reading a chapter every day or two. It was a nice book to savor. 2mo
julieclair @TheAromaofBooks That‘s helpful to know. 2mo
kspenmoll I have my mom‘s copy with its well worn, slightly torn book cover. She gave a copy to all of her daughters & daughters in law ( total 7) in her will. 2mo

FWIW I didn‘t finish the book. Not because there‘s anything wrong with it, it‘s a great book on a great topic. I quit because I think I‘m one of the lucky ones that is generally happy. I am content. I don‘t have a lot of negative self talk. If I find myself in a funk I can refer back to this book. If you struggle with being happy, you should check it out.

“This is what one thirsts for, I realize, after the smallness of the day, of work, of details, of intimacy - even of communication, one thirsts for the magnitude and universality of a night full of stars, pouring into one like a fresh tide.”

It's a moving quick read. It's the story of Charlotte Marie Barnes through her eyes. She reminises about growing up, her husbands and life.

Thanks to Goodreads for the E-book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

😊 Happy Reading 😊
