What I'm Reading

Finished Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter and enjoyed it. Lately I've been reading books with interesting unique characters and ones you don't feel you've read about before. So now it's on to:

 
 
Amazon does a better job explaining than I. Have had this book in a stack for a few months -- noted it was just released in paperback, and I knew what it was about; it was well-reviewed but I had not realized until today that it's a true story. Have read a few chapters and am enjoying it so far.
 
Here's what Amazon says:
 
During her treatment for cancer, Mary Anne Schwalbe and her son Will spent many hours sitting in waiting rooms together. To pass the time, they would talk about the books they were reading. Once, by chance, they read the same book at the same time—and an informal book club of two was born. Through their wide-ranging reading, Will and Mary Anne—and we, their fellow readers—are reminded how books can be comforting, astonishing, and illuminating, changing the way that we feel about and interact with the world around us. A profoundly moving memoir of caregiving, mourning, and love—The End of Your Life Book Club is also about the joy of reading, and the ways that joy is multiplied when we share it with others
