Alice Raikes takes a train from London to Scotland to visit her family, but when she gets there she witnesses something so shocking that she insists on returning to London immediately. A few hours later, Alice is lying in a coma after an accident that may or may not have been a suicide attempt.

Here are my July hopes. Many buddy reads.

3.8 ⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟stars — I‘m still processing #IAmIAmIAm by Maggie O‘Farrell, but I really did enjoy it. I listened to the audiobook and it was very powerful. However, I did not like the switching from first person to third person narrative or the the sporadic timeline. That said, I was captivated by the interesting and terrifying brushes with death the author has experienced. Some were small, and some were terrifying! #jpbookreview #bookreview #review

This is my second #maggieofarrell book (I adored #thismustbetheplace!), and I Am, I Am, I Am absolutely grabbed me from the first page. This book, a memoir that examines (as the subtitle says) 17 brushes with death, moves through O‘Farrell‘s near misses in episodes, each revealing a facet of her life, character, and perspective.

Purchase #1 from @powellsbooks last week: “I Am, I Am, I Am: Seventeen Brushes with Death” by #maggieofarrell, a memoir structured entirely around the author‘s many near-death experiences.
