Going to read the physical copy now that I‘ve listened to it.
“Yes, he thought maybe he mattered after all, a lesson in the unexpected. Wasn‘t that the point? Wasn‘t that the great answer to the mystery of life? To make the most of what you have while you have it, the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly. In death, Wallace had never felt more alive.”

pickAnother amazing Klune read! I absolutely bawled the last few chapters of this novel, but based on the synopsis, you can assume this novel touches on tough subjects. Despite that, even while crying, Klune made me laugh. I loved the characters and, listening to this on audio, the narrator instilled so much character into his voices. A tough but fun read.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I‘ve lately been attempting to listen to my backlog tbr on Spotify… and it‘s been slightly unsuccessful. Six DNF‘s in a row and an ever increasing purge pile, I‘m going to a favorite audiobook author. I love Klune‘s stories but I also love listening to them. The narrators are always 👍👍 for voices. They lend so much character. I‘ve already 😢 and 🤣 with this book.
Thoroughly enjoying it.
pickA friend recommended this after we had some deaths in my family. I enjoyed the perspective of the afterlife from a near-death experience of a neurosurgeon including his own doubts and scientific frame of reference.
so-soNormally, I'm a fan of Palahniuk, but this one fell flat.
What started off as an interesting premise gradually lost its balance for me, resulting in a boring last act. I couldn't help but feel that Palahniuk went overboard with the repetition in this one (especially as it pertained to his world-building), and could really benefit from more "show" and less "tell".
All in all, this one was a "meh" - teetering on a pan. Color me surprised!
pickI love Fannie Flagg books… they are like a hug in book form and this was no exception! It was so fun to follow a town and its residents from the founding to present day… if you need a light and easy read, this is the book for you!
