I just breezed through The Spectacular by Fiona Davis….which it wasn’t in my opinion. It’s for a discussion & I’ll try not to trash it. I so enjoyed The Thursday Murder Club that I got another in the series. It’s smart, funny and very engaging. It’ll be on Netflix soon. I went to see Abraham Verghese this week in Madison. He’s still practicing in the Infectious Disease field and I got his new 700+ page book The Covenant of Water. Happy Reading!

How, oh how, does Verghese work as a doctor AND write 700-page novels? Did someone ask him that question?

I pre-ordered Outlive and read about two- thirds of it when it arrived. It’s been sitting on my current reading shelf without being current. You’ve reminded me to finish it. He has an excellent podcast, which is sometimes out of my league but very informative.

While traveling today, I read some of Grow Food Anywhere by Lucy Chamberlain. Foods are grouped into 8 zones, such as sunny and moist or open and cold. Everything else this week is a continuation.

Growing food--we probably should all know how to do it!

I’m almost done Cousin Bette. It’s wild. This woman has five men who could be the father.
