The universe is run by bureaucrats. Every little thing that ever happens in the universe requires paperwork and approvals, including dying. Nathan Haynes refuses to ever sign a contract even when he‘s shot dead by a serial killer. When he refuses to sign the waiver of liability required to go to a final resting place, he‘s sent back to live again, picking up where he left off. After multiple deaths, the bureaucrats come to earth to try to sneak ⬇️

Texreader the death contract in front of him to sign. The book starts with some funny bits, but unfortunately the funny bits get old pretty quickly (as well as the multiple deaths). And the author finds a way to make inappropriate “jokes” just about everyone that more often than not are just offensive. I made it through the book for #letterY for #halloweenatoz last month but I was “speed reading” toward the end hoping it‘d just be over. 1mo

I really enjoyed this #AtoZReadathon challenge, just 4 away from a full set! I'll tag my reads in the comments. It's been a great month with some fantastic reads. Thank you for hosting @Texreader

I‘m not the biggest Fallon fan, but this is a good #PictureBook for a quick story time for really young kids, especially for animal sounds and identification. It‘s also pretty basic. I‘m not completely in love with the illustrations either. I had hoped for more. #BBRC #LetterY

marleed Every weekday - multiple times🤣🤣 I read this book. I literally own 100+ board books and my grandson will throw 95+ to the ground in my attempts to read them. But this one every day! The companion Mama book - nope it crashes to the ground. 5mo
Librarybelle @marleed 😂 I think Fallon has a huge fan! 5mo

Nine books for May! It was very hard to pick a favorite book for May but if forced to, I‘d pick the tagged book. Followed by a tie between Queen of the South and Sea of Tranquility. Four books this month for #Spain #foodandlit. Two books for #authoramonth. Two for #readingOceania #Palau and #NewZealand and of course all of them for #litsyatoz but mostly for #letterQ and #letterY

Librarybelle Wonderful!! 6mo

An older woman (40) 🙄 (the “silver fox“) escapes the city life when her boyfriend cheats on her, moving into the #NewZealand‘s Alps. Turns out she‘s a handy carpenter turning a bus into a home until she can build her dream home. Neighbor problems-love affair/getting over ex boyfriend/disputes over easement/and the prospective loss of her view from her new home ensue. And some heat from that love affair. Well written, but not really my thing. ⬇️

Texreader So for me it‘s right on the line between a pick and so-so, but the issue is me, not the author. So I give it a thumbs up. #readingOceania #letterY #litsyatoz 7mo
Librarybelle Sounds like it could be a fun read! 7mo

You Only Die Twice | Brynn Kelly

A schoolteacher co-writes a book with her now deceased Russian neighbor about spies in Russia. But the neighbor really was a spy and her part of the story is true, revealing murder and more in Russia. With the Russians hot on the teacher‘s heels to find the missing parts of the true story, the teacher goes on the run with a handsome American spy. Sounds corny as heck, but it‘s really complex, well-written, and fun. #litsyAtoZ #letterY

I just added this audiobook to Litsy's database. I've been listening to it for a few days now, and it is quite an original! A schoolteacher co-writes an ebook with her former Russian neighbor (now deceased), but it turns out the part of the story her neighbor wrote is true and it's about murder and mayhem in Russia! Now the schoolteacher is on the run from the Russians, with a handsome American spy who claims to be helping her. #LitsyAtoZ #letterY

peanutnine This one is very fun! 1y
