Katelyn's Reviews > Bookends: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Literature

I was enthralled with Zibby Owen's memoir. Zibby Owens is a publisher, podcaster, book store owner, book influencer and so much more who has spent years pursuing her passion of sharing good books with others. In her memoir she talks about her life from childhood to present day, as the mother of four children, recently remarried. While extremely wealthy, she shares the many challenges she faced, including the death of one of her best friends on 9/11. Throughout it all, books kept her going, and she includes the titles of books that she was reading or related to each stage in her life. This book is powerful, and her love of reading and determination to keep going through life's obstacles shines. I enjoyed the audiobook, which was narrated by Zibby. After finishing, I couldn't imagine being done having Zibby's voice in my ears, and I am currently enjoying her podcast "Mom's Don't Have Time to Read," where she interviews an author every day.
