I started that one! It seemed like something I would have liked except I already read Tranquility by Tuesday and they were really similar.

From what you’ve shared they definitely do sound similar. It sounds like Tranquility is a little bit more actionable/concrete (or your read of it is?), so I want to pick that up too.

Bookmory, and Goodreads (only because several friends use Goodreads).

I love Bookmory’s calendar:

Currently reading Montessori Toddler and enjoying it. @Greyweld it seems like it would be up your alley, if you are interested in a book rn and haven’t read it. Lots of practical ideas even though we aren’t all in on Montessori practices.

I’m about halfway through this and really enjoying it.

I loved it so much! He respects her expertise!

I am loving Ina Garten’s memoir. She reads the audiobook herself. Didn’t know how much of it would be about her love story with Jeffrey

That’s on my list to read!

Can you believe my therapist didn’t know who she was???

anon67098095 · January 4, 2025, 11:04pm

Umm, weird.

So am I not the only one who is constantly talking about books they are reading in therapy?

HOW

Really no clue I thought she was in the zeitgeist with Martha

I also really loved Eligible, which was her take on Pride and Prejudice. I go back to that one again and again as a comfort read.

turtlegirl · January 5, 2025, 6:19pm

I will look for that, thanks!

I just finished reading “Homecoming” by Kate Morton and, holy hell what a ride.

turtlegirl · January 12, 2025, 7:40pm

I love her books

Currently reading Woman Watching (Woman, Watching by Merilyn Simonds | CBC Books) which is a biography of a woman who had a pretty remarkable life.

I am 60 pages in, and so far she has grown up in Sweden, become a nurse during WW1, been sent to a former POW camp to take care of the patients there, fallen in love with one of the former POWs who was a Russian officer, married the Russian officer who decided to return and fight in the civil war, surrendered and been separated from her husband (who was thrown into jail), worked in Russia as part of the international famine relief (nurse + multilingual), had her husband taken off by train and disappeared into a forest, moved to Canada, became a nurse in Northern Ontario, and been one of the primary nurses caring for the Dionne Quints for the first year of their life.

We still have over 300 pages for her to become a famous naturalist and bird watcher.
