Mary Ann asked Will Schwalbe:

I met you when you visited Blue Willow Bookshop in Houston before the pandemic. I told you about how your book "The End of Your Life Bookclub" moved me as I had just lost my mother, an English professor, to ALS. You autographed my book, "in memory of Nora." I just placed an order for your newest book and can't wait to read it? Thank you for enriching my life and for giving me solace in my grief. Mary Ann Balock

Will Schwalbe Apologies for such a slow reply -- I somehow forgot to check my GR questions. Thank you for writing to me. I remember our conversation at Blue Willow (one of my favorite bookstores in the world). I was hugely touched that you shared that with me. I'm grateful that you bought the new book -- and hope you've enjoyed it. Sending warmest best wishes from NYC.

After thoroughly enjoying your terrific book, I was inspired to start my own book club with my twin sister (who is struggling with cancer). We are enjoying sharing books with each other, and fear only that our list of books to read together may be longer than our available time. It's so satisfying to not only share books that we love together, but to have another's perspective. Do you share with anyone else now?

I just finished the audio version of your book The End of Your Life Book Club and I loved it. It was just lovely. Thank you for sharing your experience. I was born Aug 1962 so we are the same age! Maybe that is why I related to your stories so well! What is my question? I had to add that.

Jessica asked Will Schwalbe:

I cannot stop thinking about this book. It is a life changer. Just after I finished it, I decided to finally read The Kite Runner. My 10th grade son had to read it for school. When that book came out, I was a Teen Librarian, and so my every extra minute was consumed with adding to my teen literature vault so that I could recommend books to kids. So together these books have just about blown my mind!?
