so-soThis book has some flaws but overall it is decent. I didn't like that we are told right away that Avery and Colin get rescued from the plane crash. It took away from the suspense and urgency when the author was talking about them being stranded. Some of the flashbacks got confusing too.
pickThis was a really powerful and mostly sad book about a boy who is the lone survivor of a plane crash and his life after dealing with this trauma. It is written in alternating timelines of during the flight and after and it incorporates stories of the people on the plane and Edward‘s life after. It was really well written and interesting to read the varying viewpoints. This is definitely a book that will be hard to forget.
so-soLook who‘s done with her (first?) #AuldLangSpine novel! @Karisa recommended #DearEdward to me. I really liked the writing and the author captured the young boy really well. I wish the Plotline with the letters started early, since the story dragged a bit in the middle.
Rating: 3,75⭐️
Looking forward to the Apple TV 📺 adaption.
so-soMy book club is meeting at the end of the week to discuss Napolitano‘s latest book, but this one came highly recommended as well, so I thought I‘d better prepare and listen to it as well! First of all, I am definitely thankful that I didn‘t listen while we were traveling last week! This story of a plane crash and its aftermath for the sole survivor is certainly a sad one. I just wanted a bit more of that hope and a bit less on the actual plane…
pickThe ending was a bit pat and sweet following an intense, gut-wrenching novel but I would still recommend.
After a mediocre September, October came and went in a blaze. Several books could have been contenders for my FICTION bracket, but in the end my heart went with the tagged book —which also squeaked past to the quarterfinals in a very heated battle with my July pick. I adore Dennis Lehane, but in the end I leaned slightly towards “Dear Edward.” I think. Ask me again tomorrow. Or better yet —just read both books. 🙂
pickThis book is in two parts; the first tells the story of the 1972 Andean plane crash, which the author survived and then trekked across the mountains for help.
The second part is about how the doctor used his experience, alongside pioneering discoveries, to treat unborn and very young babies with heart conditions.
I‘m using this for #Uruguay for #readingtheamericas23, as that is where the doctor is from; it would work for #Argentina too.
pickThis book! It broke my heart and then tried to patch it together again. What‘s that saying about the broken parts being where the light shines through? This has been sitting in my stacks—I'm glad it finally got pushed off my TBR and into my face.

At only 230 pages, I devoured this book! It is to the point and fast paced!
