I read a wonderful and unusually structured memoir by Maggie O'Farrell (author of Hamnet and other novels), entitled "I Am, I Am, I Am."

Ooh, yes! I have had that on my TBR since Hamnet came out and would love to read it. What makes the structure interesting, Laura? Do tell!

Without disclosing too much, each chapter covers one of "seventeen brushes with death" (the subtitle) and is named for the particular body part that is vulnerable in each unique situation.

Now I’m bumping it up my TBR! Thanks Laura. Hope we see you tonight for our convo with Joseph Earl Thomas or another author convo soon.
