If unfamiliar with the program, it's a selection of ARCs available for Amazon prime members (who get to choose one free to keep a month ahead of publication date).

I am noticing that some have not been new books as have been previously self-published.

Durn if I can get any of these added to this post. (I have carefully added the editions to booklikes but it will not find it searching; even shelved to search on my shelves to no avail.) I'll try to edit and add later in case some cache lag with recently added works.

UPDATE: some now searchable in booklikes; some not but can now search on my shelves to add to post.  All added to post now.

A look at what happens to human bodies after we die. It was interesting, but for me it bore almost no resemblance to my personal experience or belief system. My major experience of death had nothing to do with either the funeral home industry or the other scenarios Roach lays out. It was gentle; religious; intimate–all things that Roach doesn’t portray. So I accepted that the experiences she describes may be true for others, but they didn’t have much resonance for me.
