Current read. Short but powerful novel. Had seen this on social media and decided to give it a go after recalling it languishing on my Kindle for a few years. I‘m glad I read this.

Reactivating Everand has enabled me to read a few books very late to the party. Here and there the narrator's lack of self-awareness grated on me a bit, but mostly I found it sweet.

Somebody I Used to Know | Wendy Mitchell

Mehso-so

Wendy was, without a doubt, an extraordinary individual with many outstanding qualities. Her strength of personality coupled with her incredible drive, determination, and positivity in the face of what for lesser mortals would've been a devastating diagnosis is inspiring and humbling.

However, I was not in the right place for this...perhaps no more medical memoirs for me for a while...

I'm sure others would find this a source of hope.

While researching books about #alzheimers and #senility on Litsy, I found this title. I did not care for the reader of this audio book, she sounded high falutin to me (probably because I'm low maintenance West Coast 🇺🇸). But the book hit the spot. It had more to do with Patti's grief given the circumstances of her father's disease and her parents' lack of affection which I can relate to.

mandarchy When she saw her mother's dead body, she expected her mother to sit up and tell her to cut her hair. 😂 My mom would tell me to braid mine. 4mo

As someone who was doing biomedical research before becoming a dad, I found this book to be a fascinating read!

During my graduate studies and post-doc, I heard of the odd case of academic dishonesty and data fabrication, mostly through the media. This book was eye-opening because data manipulation is rampant in the field of Alzheimer‘s research, with cases stretching back decades with some of the most accomplished researchers.

A must read!

Kitta I work in biomedical science still, in a field closely related to the scandal involving Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos 😬 These kind of books interest me a lot! And I‘d recommend the one about her: (edited) 5mo
Pruzy @Kitta I‘ve read that one! Also another crazy and fascinating story. Have you watched the mini-series starring Amanda Seyfried as Holmes? It‘s called The Dropout 5mo
Kitta @Pruzy yes! I thought it was really good. 5mo

This book was a reminder of why I love StoryGraph‘s reading challenges so much. I never would have discovered such a lovely story without #52bookclub25‘s bonus prompt: set in New Zealand. It‘s a mystery that will break your heart to pieces. The author did a fantastic job of bringing the struggles of caring for someone with Alzheimer‘s to the page. I couldn‘t put this book down.

The audiobook was great. She brought Emily‘s emotions to life.
