The Collected Regrets of Cover by Mikki Brammer- A Book Review
In the Collected Regrets of Clover, Mikki Branner explores what it means to have a well-lived life and the seemingly disinterested approach we (especially those of us in Western countries) take towards death.ย The ability to accept death is such a rare but beautiful trait and something I wish I could provide to more of my patients and their families. This book touched a piece of me I rarely get to share with those outside of work, and I hope those who read ๐๐ฐ๐ญ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ค๐ต๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐๐ฆ๐จ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ต๐ด ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ญ๐ฐ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณย feel a pull towards a life filled with fewer regrets and more living.
Remarkably Bright Creatures By Shelby Van Pelt – A Review
The writing is heavy at times as it deals with the fears of aging alone, grief, and loss, but it also can be funny as we learn about Marcellus and his antics at the aquarium and his valid opinions of his human captors.
Yellowface by R.F. Kuang – A Review
From the discussion on how social media sells books to how the publishing industry has already selected what will be a best seller long before books make it to market, Kuang gave details on the โdirtyโ side of publishing. As someone who spends lots of time engaged on book-related social media, I loved the critique I believe Kuang was trying to get across.ย
Mad Honey by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan-Book Review
The writing is beautiful, thought provoking and filled with an engaging twist that makes this book even more special! This book took me by surprise, brought me to tears and ultimately left me wanting to hug my babies extra tight.
