I’ve already got “On Eating” preordered on Kobo! So looking forward to it!

I use a Kobo e-reader, so I get my ebooks from their online shop. My husband does more audiobooks than I tend to, and he just defaults to the Apple Bookstore so he can connect his iPhone to the car stereo.

Oh hi, I wrote that! Thanks so much for checking the post out and for linking your readers to it. As an American, I’m so jealous of y’all who get to see Neil & co on tour more readily than I can. Hope it’s a great show!

Thank you for all the ways that you continue to write about and honor your brother; reading through your posts about the evolution of your grief has been incredibly helpful to me this past year.

I'm just coming up on the one-year anniversary of my brother's loss & "holy shit they don't" hits pretty much 100%. It's such a unique & haunting loss that colors absolutely everything about my life in ways that I couldn't begin to adequately explain to anyone else who hasn't gone through it.

This was so sweet. 🥰

I mostly appreciate that it's opening the conversation about them. Like, "Are these actually necessary? How did the pursuit of them become such a be-all, end-all thing? What are we actually trying to achieve through the use of blurbs?" etc.

Thank you for posting about this! I hadn't heard the news yet, so this is good info to know.

I totally feel ya on that! Hope you find something you like!

Have you read MT Anderson's "Feed"? It's YA sci-fi, neither of which are my usual go-tos, but I found it truly devastating (in the best possible way). Also, Clive Barker's "Sacrament" really knocked me out when I read it a year or two ago. Oh, and Idra Novey's "Take What You Need" is great too!
