Hi Jessica, I see you are reading some recent publications from Mayo Clinic Press, namely:
- " Taking Care of You" by Mary I. O’Connor, M.D., Kanwal L. Haq, M.S. https://mcpress.mayoclinic.org/product/taking-care-of-you/
and
- "When Winter Came: A Country Doctor’s Journey to Fight the Flu Pandemic of 1918" by Mary Beth Sartor Obermeyer https://mcpress.mayoclinic.org/product/when-winter-came/

I'm devouring a delightful book called "Mothering Sundays" by Graham Swift right now.

I purchased "When Winter Came", but I haven't brought myself to read it yet. Reading of a pandemic hits too close to current reality, so I hesitate to start it. Your endorsement of "WOW what a book this was." might encourage me to pick it up. Jessica, did you find it hard to read because of our recent and current experiences of Covid? What did you like about it?

What's next on your list?
