Great

Familia
by Lauren E. Rico
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This book was great! Likely because it fell in my lap at a time when we have been digging into our family ancestry. The story focuses on a sister who is working as a fact checker at a magazine and has DNA tests done for a work project that say she is not her parents' daughter. It sends her into a deep dive trying to prove that the test was wrong, since her parents are both dead and she cannot ask them. As she delves further, she is contacted by the sister who has been searching for her since she was abducted as a child. The way these two instantly bond and fight, in my mind, further proved to me how they were cut from the same cloth. The twists come in when you finally learn the details of how the abduction happened, and who all knew and said nothing for years.

Dead People Suck
by Laurie Kilmartin

book cover


This book right here... my twisted sarcasm found this refreshing and funny. It threw me off at first, the way the author/comedian would have stand-up skits in some of the interludes, but it ultimately worked. Laurie mainly talks about what it is like to have a parent on hospice and then after they die. But her comedic approach made me feel so welcome in her "Dead Dads Club". The things she reminds us to take care of in our own lives once we know we are nearing the "end" are hilarious! I would recommend this to anyone who has gone through hospice care with a loved one, once they are ready to laugh about it!

Family Lore

This has one was so intriguing to read. The story is of a family of sisters who all had different gifts. The mom that the story focuses around has everyone up in arms because she wants to have a living wake. With no illness in sight, her family knows her gift is that of knowing how/when someone will die. This sets us up to dive into all of the characters, their thoughts on her impending wake, and their gifts. Coming from a large family with my mom being one of many sisters, this read had me grasping for each chapter.
