I really like Lauren Graham, so this was a wonderful audiobook. She talks about life, family, friendships, love, her acting career, the show Parenthood, and of course Gilmore Girls. I'm looking forward to listening to more of her books!

Hart, a demigod, is a marshal in Tanria who delivers bodies to Mercy the undertaker at Birsdall & Son. The only thing Hart likes about going there is Mercy's dog Leonard. Hart is gruff and jaded, since his job also includes killing drudges (zombies) that take over the bodies of the dead. There's absolutely nothing Mercy likes about Hart whenever he shows up at Birdsall & Son.

Librariana Congrats on getting a book "off the shelf"! ☺️ So what is the verdict? Will it go back on the shelf for an eventual reread? Or do you think you'll pass it on (gift/donate) to someone else? 2w

My #BookSpin list for January. This year, I think I'll just take a random stack of 20 books from my bookshelf for each month's list. My unread books aren't on the bookshelf in any order at all, so this should help me get to the books I don't even remember that I have, lol. 😁

Before the Fall | Noah Hawley
post image
Pickpick

A private jet with eleven passengers takes off from Martha's Vineyard on its way to New York. Sixteen minutes later, it crashes into the ocean. The only survivors are Scott, the artist who was invited along at the last minute because he was meeting with art galleries in NY, and JJ, the 4 year old son of one of the wealthy couples on the plane. ⬇️

CoffeeNBooks This tells their story, as well as the stories of the rest of the passengers on the plane, as the authorities try to determine what happened on the flight.

DogMomIrene All excellent things! Happy you‘re cancer-free!🙌🏼💙 1mo
staci.reads Fantastic news from the MRI! Breathe easy for a while now. How often are you getting checked now? I just got the all-clear a couple weeks ago (9 months cancer free). And now they are moving me to tests every 3 months instead of 2. I feel like it's a good milestone, but it freaks me out a little to go that long between 😳. 1mo

CoffeeNBooks @staci.reads That's wonderful! It's definitely worrisome when you're used to seeing your doctors more frequently and then you don't any more. I get an MRI every year and I still see my oncologist twice a year. I'm almost done with post-cancer preventative treatments- hopefully next August will be my last infusion. February will mark year 3 of my cancer journey, so I'm ready to be done with treatments! 😁 1mo
TheLudicReader Those MRI results are the perfect Christmas gift! 1mo
DebinHawaii Such good news on your results & what a lovely list of joys! 💛💛💛 Thanks for joining in & spreading the joy! 🤗 1mo
staci.reads @CoffeeNBooks What a milestone August will be! I'm finding my first year to be constant reminders as every "one-year anniversary of...." hits the calendar. I hope that fades. Thanks for sharing about your journey. It helps to hear from those who have been down that road. 2w

I bought this copy at an antique store. It was given to its recipient in 1966 according to the inscription inside, and it had this extra treasure in it: a copy of the Junior Deluxe Editions Preview of My Friend Flicka. I love when I find treasures in used books!

Funny Story | Emily Henry
post image
Pickpick

Daphne and her fiancé Peter have the perfect life. Until Peter suddenly breaks up with her for his best friend Petra, and Daphne realizes she didn't have a perfect life after all. In a town she moved to for Peter, where she doesn't know anyone other than Peter's friends, the only person she has to lean on is Petra's ex-boyfriend Miles. She re-evaluates everything she thinks about friendship, family, and who she really is.
⬇️

CoffeeNBooks There are so many things I love about Emily Henry's books- they're fun and often funny, but also a very real observation on life. So much of it, especially how she writes about friendships, is so real.

I really enjoyed this book! I have a hard time finding audiobooks I like, but this is the 2nd one by J. Ryan Stradal that I've listened to and really liked.

Edith and Helen are sisters who have a falling out, and this is the story of how even though their lives diverged, they both ended up in the business of brewing beer.

This was my least favorite in the series so far. Lady Georgiana goes to America with her mom, visiting New York, Nevada, and California. Chaos ensues, of course. I found the mystery on the ship more interesting than the mystery once they got to America, and wish the entire story had focused on the ship.
