Hello everyone!
A little heads up in case you missed it out on Facebook – I will have another giveaway like the one last week at some point in time. Also, I happen to have a few extra goodies a reader might find included with their ARC when it arrives. I wish I could give every winner of an ARC a package like last week’s, or a small “extra,” but as they say in retail, “supplies are limited.”
Moving on to the post and sentence for this week!
***************************************************
There is a book that is doing really well right now, recently published on August 31 of this year, and it’s of a most unusual topic. It’s called Stiff: The Mysterious Life of Human Cadavers, by Mary Roach. We humans, or some of us anyway, are fascinated with the morbid. Not me, you say? Have you never “rubber-necked” when there was a terrible accident you had to drive by? I will admit, I have never shied away from reading about decomposition, viewing pictures post mortem, and I’ve read various accounts of how far a human body can go when in the process of dying, yet still be resuscitated. Writers often joke about the questions we pose to the internet, and if that question is asked out on some social media platform, there is the inevitable disclaimer – FOR RESEARCH.
I did a lot of thinking before I decided to go ahead and post the sentence in it’s entirety for this week. Is it a spoiler, or not? I couldn’t decide at first and then I thought, no, hopefully it’s riveting!

Happy Friday back to you!
Happy Friday. Excited to read this new book and learn more about turpentine extraction. Growing up in Upstate SC in living Western NC for several years I have heard of making turpentine. Good luck on the book.
I did a ton of research and feel I still didn’t learn everything! ☺
interesting book
I thought so too – if my TBR pile wasn’t so big, I’d get it. It’s on my wish list – which seems odd to me. Ha.
I have
Good Morning! Happy First Friday of Fall ????❤???? I’ve added this book to my Wish List!! Sounds Different ????
Awesome – it’s nothing but Southern fiction through and through. (well considered historical fiction too) It’s totally different in that it’s about a bit of Southern history no one (that I know of) has written about. ????
When you see a husband die and look at him after death, not a sight of a dead person would I ever want to see again!
Gosh, I don’t even want to think about it! ????
Well this book does sound interesting in a different sort of kind of way lol. I’m adding it to my TBR list ????
Thanks, Tracy – it’s Southern (historical) fiction, thru and thru! Don’t let the lead ins fool you. ????
Thanks for sharing and the chance to win.
☺
So excited about this book. Cannot wait to meet Rae Lynn!
I loved writing her story! She’s a very unique character, and so is Del Reese. 😉
