    I read several reviews of the memoir you got in the mail. Sounds quite interesting. Cool that you get a free book in the mail!

      I almost always like memoirs - I like hearing about other people's lives.

    Interesting! Well, it just might be a good memoir. You'll have to tell us about it when you read it. Nice little surprise!

    Better than a bill! Best wishes with your reading choices. I hope you get some great stories. Currently reading the Count of Monte Cristo. I might be some time!

      I love the classics. I should read The Count of Monte Cristo one of these years. Right now my classic read is Les Miserables.

      Yes, it would be so cool if more publishers would bless Booktubers that way. We bookish people love to get free books from unexpected sources! You can tell by my reaction that this doesn't happen to me very often.

    Well surprise book mail is still pretty cool. Interesting it came with the postcards to tie in with the meaning of the book. Hope you like it

    Heh, my first thought was, oh no not another book with that kind of title. Relatable pet peeve!
    I guess they have you in a list of memoir readers.
    Despite the title, it sounds like a fairly unique memoir.

    • @Eldertalk
      @Eldertalk  7 місяців тому +1

      YES... I don't have very many pet peeves about books, but that idea was innovative when The Time Traveler's Wife was published and now it just seems overdone. Still, it looks like a very interesting memoir and who could help but be emotionally involved with a child whose mother died?

      I'm very surprised because I've never really hit the big time especially here at UA-cam, but you know, I do write reviews for every book I read, over at Goodreads, and publishers must sometimes read them.

      I was just looking at that a moment ago - and praying about it too. I've made a lot of progress in cutting back the blackberries but there are still some left. I took down one side of the fence but need to work on the other. I nearly have my "path" cleared out. I need to prune back the Crabapple and the rose bush - I haven't touched them much yet.

    That is pretty cool! But how awful to have your mother die from something like that!

    • @Eldertalk
      @Eldertalk  7 місяців тому

      Yes, poor kid, losing her mother then not even being able to discuss it with family members. Then it all comes out in a memoir! I haven't even read it yet and she's already got my heart.

      So true, and losing a parent is traumatic at any age, but the effect on children must be the worst.

      Fame is relative. Well, I think they may have found my reviews at Goodreads. That is all. I don't know if they ever watched my Booktube channel but I do know another Booktuber who received a book from them right after I did. It was a different book more aimed at her interests I guess so they have us targeted. It is true I love memoirs and have read a lot of Asian literature!
