Rabid: A Cultural History of the World's Most Diabolical Virus | Bill Wasik, Monica Murphy

I can‘t be the only weirdo who gets excited when I see a sale on a book about a disease or medical condition. Right? Bueller? Bueller?

Bananas. Often hard to read, because of its insensitivity and my own second-hand embarrassment…

Cutting for Stone: A Novel | Abraham Verghese

Fiction is the great lie telling the truth…

Spot on articulation for why writing & reading “fiction” is important. 👌🏾 I could listen to Verghese all day - so insightful & relaxing. Bet his medical students like him.

GingerAntics I has a patient that used to come in and talk about how children shouldn‘t be reading fiction because it‘s nonsense and they should only be reading “the truth” because that‘s what the Bible says, EVERY time she came in. It was really hard to keep my mouth shut. 🙄 2w

Tamra @GingerAntics oh yes - that would be very hard. My tongue would hurt. 😖 2w

GingerAntics @Tamra it sure did! It was utter nonsense and I felt terrible for her kids! She didn‘t even let her grandkids read fiction at her house. I feel back for them, too! 2w

Tamra @GingerAntics wow! 😖 2w

GingerAntics @Tamra yeah. It was actually REALLY sad. We would sure hate for kids to have imaginations. 2w

GingerAntics @Tamra she was a really sweet lady outside of that. It was just hard to think well of her when she was SO adamant against literature. 2w

The New Menopause: Navigating Your Path Through Hormonal Change with Purpose, Power, and Facts | Mary Claire Haver, MD

Ugh I hate that I need to read this 🤣

LapReader I‘m hearing you. 3w

ravenlee I found this one to be informative and helpful, if you‘re looking for more. I‘m still waiting for the “pause” to hit, but I felt better informed after reading it (not so the Menopause Manifesto, though). Good luck!

Mayo Clinic The Menopause Solution: A doctor's guide to relieving hot flashes, enjoying better sex, sleeping well, controlling your weight, and being happy!

BarkingMadRead @ravenlee thank you! 3w

peaKnit Amen! I have read it also…and started HRT. So many fun things for women all along the journey lol! 3w
