I love Margaret Atwood. The woman writes poetry, fiction and just about anything she fancies and it is all good!

What a wonderful video! I read Wonder by Donoghue and loved it. Pull of the Stars sounds like a read for me. I’ve been so curious about Davies’ work.

As an aspiring nurse, I’m intrigued by fictional books that have to do with medicine!

Oh that’s so cool! Have you read The Butchering Art by Lindsey Fitzharris? It’s non fiction but it’s not dry at all. It’s all about surgery in the mid 19th century in the UK and also the story of Joseph Lister, one of the first to discover germs and the use of carbolic acid during surgery to prevent infection. His legacy is Listerine!
