pick#12Booksof2024 This book had the biggest impact on me this year, as it relates to producing a visceral reaction. In retrospect, this was probably my trauma being triggered by the existential horror of it all, but I don‘t regret finishing it. This one will have you thinking about what it really means to “shuffle off this mortal coil”.
Honorable mention to How to Make Friends With a Ghost which I adored. 🥹👻
pickI probably did this book a disservice by racing through it on the last day of the year but what a gorgeous book.
I learned so much about living through the Sri Lankan civil war between 7 Moons and Brotherless Night. This is a perfect pairing if you have read one. 7 Moons is beautifully told, I love the concept and the character of Maali was well chosen.
4.25/5
Thank you so much, @TieDyeDude for this amazing #stockingstufferswap gift! My fave chocolate, two perfect book choices and that gnome book protector 😍😍😍 all the love!!! Cannot wait to light the candle, brew up some tea, and read! (And it‘s actually cold and gross in SC this week, so it‘s a perfect time for it! @Avanders
bailedI loved this book! So many subtle life lessons here.
When you agree to take a friend to a doctor‘s appointment that should last 2 hours or so, it doesn‘t hurt to take a book you haven‘t started yet so you don‘t run out of reading material.
pickThis was my 3rd Klune, and I continue to find his stories moving and his characters deeply endearing. I loved this beautiful story of redemption, love, and found family. I finally got it read for September #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville
pickReread this one for #AuthorAMonth in September. Loved it even more the second time, such a lovely story about grief

pickI 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.
so-soI am probably in a good place to give a so-so rating because I do typically enjoy Palahniuk‘s work. This one, while a lot of fun at first, petered out for me. I‘m not sure where he lost me, but he did. And that‘s okay. You can‘t win them all. A 13-year-old girl is poised take over Hell. I was unaware this was a series when I picked it up, so I‘ll hold off Judgement Day until I finish it. Maybe it‘ll all tie up nicely?
