The Recommended Reading List

Change a few book titles, why don’t you?
The problem with titles is that they’re usually calculated to be the best representation of the story. So I’ve been wandering around the house for the past week, looking at shelves, wondering how I’d title things differently.
Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?: Big Questions from Tiny Mortals About Death
