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 moved your 2 reviews to this discussion in Just Want To Talk so fellow book-o-philes likes @alive @gingerw @mpeters @imallears @linh @roch @hopeful33250 @sparklegram @dorisjeanne @hifromstefanie @joyces @sstillwell @nancy82415 @IndianaScott @loribmt @johnbishop @66andcounting @dianeg616 @sunny617 @mikeynorth @sheebacat @carolee888 @rely1ngonhelp @ann16 @femalepersuasion @oldhen @lu91 @whereforart @adr @wisfamily @sueinmn @ellamster @callalloo @jjwest @willows @amarnadeem @pml @siackma @dermnurse68 @artist01 @deb1972 @lizbetor22 @contentandwell @lesliemcgillivrayrivas @tpl will update us with their reads for 2023.

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?

Both of those books sound intriguing and are quite different from the genre that I have been reading primarily. There are so many books with WW2 as a backdrop that I have read quite a few of them. Recently I haven't read as many that I would recommend though, I have veered away from what I had been reading. I was an insatiable reader but over the years of raising my son and daughter that fell by the wayside. The pandemic gave me the opportunity to resume reading and now I read about two books a week or more.

I never remember titles so I would have to go back to see what books I have read. I read almost exclusively on Kindle. I love being able to search back for a character if I want to recall background info on them. I had been reading them on my IPad but my husband got me a snazzy new Kindle and I love it. It's such a nice size that I can easily tuck it into almost all of my pocketbooks.
