Welcome to Litsy!

I can't check this out today, so y'all are gonna hold on to the call number for me! Thanks in advance!

"I realized I wouldn't get my answers by asking questions, I would get them by waiting."

What a sweet book! It tells the true story of a journalist who interviews a series of people all 100 or older. Every chapter is another interview with another centenarian. It‘s a great reminder of the importance of relationships and it will make you want to hug a senior citizen. Loved it!

This book was sad, and enlightening. I was lucky enough to be able to read it with my husband. We read it to each other in bed, or while cooking. There was a couple in the book who were both 100 years old. There is apparently a 6 million to 1 chance of this happening. Since my husband and I are 16 years apart, and that is even more unlikely, this book really made us tear up numerous times. Also laugh. And think. An all around great book.
