Random Acts of Heroic Love | Danny Scheinmann

Mehso-so

This book is a bit of a mess. I have no idea why I bought it in the first place but that was in 2008 so a few years ago 😀

It is about grief and the First World War and quantum physica and animal sex and traveling in Latin America. Well, it fits the #SomePlaceCold prompt for #FictionalTraveler2025!

LeahBergen 😆😆 I have books on my shelf like that, too! 2w
sarahbarnes I also have books like that I bought years ago and never read, and then I don‘t enjoy them much when I finally do. 😆 2w
julieclair I must admit I‘m intrigued as to how all those topics fit into one book… 🤔 2w
Suet624 @sarahbarnes yes, exactly. 1w

#WeeklyForecast 03/25

I am reading the unputdownable The Wedding People. Super curious to find out where the story goes. Next will be the oldest book on my tbr (the tagged one) for #FictionalTraveler. Maybe there‘s time for another Banana Yoshimoto as well 🤞🏽

Melismatic The Wedding People was just chosen for my next in person book club. Glad to hear you‘re enjoying it! 3w

#doublespin for Jan - the writing was beautiful, this just wasn‘t my cup of tea. Found it a bit of a slog.

On Life after Death, revised | Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

I found this edition while scanning the shelves in an indie bookstore in Seattle. It was a quick read with a lot of familiar information and ideas—but EKR is always worth reading. I honestly can‘t get enough of books on these topics! The world needs more of them. Death Care and Death Education can be so different, if we allow it to be. Shown: snowberries at Snoqualmie Falls in WA.

A Grief Observed | C.S. Lewis

After seeing the movie Freuds Last Session I wanted to know more about CS Lewis. I had read his Narnia series in my 20s. This was in my partners extensive book collection and I started to read it. My confession here, I only read the Afterword. Amazing. Gave me all I wanted to know about CS Lewis. Fitted in well with what I had learnt from the movie. I am interested in how he went from being an atheist to a Christian. I‘ll try 1 more of his books.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!
