I just read The End of Your Life Book Club a few weeks ago and was envious of the author that he got to share reading books with his mother over the last two years of her life. When Dad gave me this notebook, I felt like maybe this is my Mom's way of sharing, even though she is now gone. I typed up the list and here it is:
