Everyone welcome, I hope you are enjoying the site. I know its mostly been book reviews lately, I hope to remedy that soon.
I couldn't put this week's book down. "Reincarnation Blues" by Michael Poore is a witty, humorous story of a man named Milo who's lived nearly 10,000 lives. If I believed in reincarnation, this is how I would imagine it. Each life is supposed to teach a lesson, and ultimately, people are supposed to achieve a "perfect" life. Milo, has lived more lives than any, and yet he still hasn't received perfection. His afterlife is also complicated, as he is involved in a forbidden love.
Ciao, welcome! Are you all enjoying the autumn weather (or spring, depending on where you are in the world)? I have to say, that yes I am. I will miss the hot summer, with its long days providing what seems like endless hours to get things done. But, autumn is my favorite season.The smell alone is magical.
The book this week was amazing. I read this in about 3 days, I just couldn't put it down. I love post-apocalyptic stories and this one did not disappoint. "The Book of the Unnamed Midwife" by Meg Elison is a great read. I stayed up way past my bedtime, but I just couldn't wait to see that was next.
Welcome welcome! Well after take a few weeks off, I'm back at it. I just finished this book last night before bed: "The Ferryman Institute" by Colin Gigl. While reading some other non-fiction work, I decided I needed to dive into some delicious fiction.
First let me say, I love the premise of this novel. The main job for the workers of the Ferryman Institute is to assist the newly departed cross over into the afterlife. The main character, Charlie, has been a Ferryman for over 250 years and he is one of the best at getting lost souls to travel over to the other side. Even though Charlie is excellent at his job, he takes every case to heart, and over the centuries the ferryman life has given him the blues.
