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.

Nice book for kids

Narcas

book cover


This book reminded me so much of the style of Mariana van Zeller's investigations into smuggling networks and black markets. The writing (and audio) are very much a journalistic approach. After watching series like Griselda and Queen of the South, I wanted to know more about the history behind some of these women that we too often don't hear about. In true Hispanic culture, these women were often overlooked and thought to be harmless homemakers. For many women that get involved in this line of "business" that is so very far from the truth. It only abetted them in staying under the radar longer than their male counterparts. All in all a very interesting exposé of a largely undocumented side of cartel business women.

Great

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!

Wonderful

The Last Thing He Told Me

book cover


So I saw that they made a TV Series based on this book, I have not watched it yet, I wanted to read it first. This book spoke to me in ways that reached me deeply. You have to ask yourself, "I've helped raise this child that is not mine, what am I willing to give up in life to keep her safe?" The twists and turns in this book kept me engaged. The snarky teenage angst came through flawlessly. I can't wait to see if the series holds a flame to the book version.
