I'm on the second read through of the Unselected Journals, since I cracked the cover of Volume 1 on September 14, the day before my mom died. These books have truly been a godsend, though I doubt I'll ever be able to read them again without experiencing tears at random points. In my tiny, grieving world, Volume 8 is long overdue, and I'm immensely grateful that its imminent arrival is now noted on a near horizon!

I missed this in October, but was glad to have come across is today. There are some readers who will connect with Emma's journey in a unique way because of their tight, fresh grief. I'm pleased that Emma could be along side you in this process. I'm cheering you on as you navigate this first year, and after. x Beth

What a great green treat! Isn't green such a grounding color -- reminds me of Islington.

Let the reread begin!

I’m dying to discuss the current journals with fellow enthusiasts! I’ve created a Fable Book Club (free app!) for anyone interested. Beth, would you join us too???

Hooray, hooray, hooray!!! It seems like I've been waiting forever. Now I have enough time to reread all the previous volumes (at least once) before this is released.

Thank you, Beth.

Hoping that “early” means I will be able to download the Kindle version to read on my flight home from Europe on the eighth!!
