Stiff by Mary Roach

Hello my lovely readers! 

Two years ago, coincidentally around this time, I DNF'd this book because I wasn't in the headspace for it. You can read that "review" here.

I decided to give it another shot and I'm glad I did! Let's get into it.

Hello my lovely readers!

This was a Libby find. This book was right up my alley, but I just wasn't in the right mind space to finish it. It honestly reminded me a lot of All The Living and The Dead, but I actually liked what I read. Let's get into it.
