I am currently reading The End of Your Life Book Club by Will Schwalbe.“What are you reading?”That’s the question Will Schwalbe asks his mother, Mary Anne, as they sit in the waiting room of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
Will and Mary Anne share their hopes and concerns with each other—and rediscover their lives—through their favorite books. When they read, they aren’t a sick person and a well person, but a mother and a son taking a journey together. The result is a profoundly moving tale of loss that is also a joyful, and often humorous, celebration of life: Will’s love letter to his mother, and theirs to the printed page. ( Excerpt from Goodreads review)

Your list is wonderful. I've seen this book and wondered if it's good or not. It seems like it'd be sad, but it's good that it's joyful, too.
Thanks for linking up! :D
I enjoyed reading your review for A Matter of Class, too!
It's Spring Break, and we're being so lazy. ;P
