March Reading Wrap-Up: “Great Gobs Of Goose Grease: An Account Of A Stroke Happening And The Trial And Struggles To Comeback” by Connie Smith
March was a good reading month. Some readers were able to finish up their TBR list for this month and joyfully write in their reading journals that they’ve been able to hit their reading goals. On the other hand, some readers couldn’t finish their TBR list, and that’s okay. We all have different priorities in life, and this is also to remind you that life is not a race; we all have different paces in life, so don’t pressure yourself to finish your TBR. Whether you finished up your March TBR list or not, what’s important is that you were able to enjoy and have fun on your reading journey.
The next question is, what’s in your April TBR?
“Great Gobs Of Goose Grease: An Account Of A Stroke Happening And The Trial And Struggles To Comeback” by Connie Smith is an inspiring memoir that readers should definitely include in their April TBR list. This compelling memoir presents the healing journey of the author after experiencing a stroke in her early fifties.
This narrative was highly praised by Mihir Shah of the US Review of Books, acknowledging that “What Smith suggests throughout the book, however, is to slow down. This is especially true after having a stroke but is just as relevant otherwise. Her perspective on the fleeting nature of life is commendable and one that emphasizes enjoying the moments, reflecting, peering within, and constantly assessing if the life we are living is the one we want to live. Are we cultivating strong relationships? Through her husband and sister Bonnie, Smith gets to see how much she truly means in the eyes of her family.”
Moreover, this masterpiece was among the books displayed by Author Reputation Press during the Frankfurt Book Fair 2023 in Frankfurt, Germany, on October 18–22, 2023. The said event is reportedly known as the world’s largest trade fair for books. In 2023, over 105,000 trade visitors from 130 countries and 110,000 audiences participated in this big event.
