pickWhen I die, freeze dry my body and turn me into fertilizer for a tree.
Roach's exploration of what happens to human bodies postmortem is fascinating, and often stomach churning, and definitely makes you think. The audio narration is wonderful, the casual conversational style matching with Roach's wry humour, but also showcasing the curiosity that drives her books.
Currently listening to the tagged, and the chapter I'm on is bringing to mind good ol' Mrs Lovett: https://youtu.be/E1i23Yw4_tQ?si=DoUZFHgFTCK_Ptnr

pickOne would not think a book all about cadavers could be anything but morbid and gross, but this book is entertaining and informative and funny. Mary Roach makes the subject approachable and educational. I had no idea about the many “lives” of cadavers. Includes an interesting chapter on burial/cremation/composting. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickLoved this! So glad it was a MCBC pick because I‘ve been wanting to read this for a long time. It‘s a fascinating look at what some bodies can do after death and the things/procedures we have today that are because of the research and testing performed on cadavers. There were several moments where I laughed out loud and Mary‘s humor really shines through in places. I‘ll be picking up more from her. #MCBC
pickThis was both delightful and disturbing. I enjoyed a lot of it, but some of the experimentation especially head transplants with monkeys and dogs was truly awful. I wish I‘d been able to skip those sections, but that‘s challenging with an audiobook.
#WickedWhispers Day 5: Fairy tales would always have its fair share of monsters and #Cadavers. My review is forthcoming. 💕
Gothic mystery and romance. Hazel wants to be a surgeon. Jack is a resurrection man. There are lots of #cadavers in this series.

I read this a few years ago for #AuthorAMonth. It‘s informative and clever - Roach is one-of-a-kind
