Tall Reader and I enjoy the Life Reissues of their Special Editions of Life and we let each other know when we've purchased one so as not to duplicate! Then we share. :-) This time it was The Years of the Crown. There are wonderful pictures and articles about Queen Elizabeth II and her reign, and a bit at the end about Charles. There's the ups and the downs in her life, and, although I've not seen it, entries about the Netflix series The Crown. A wonderful read with a cup of tea.

Recently Kiwi loaned me a book she'd read and enjoyed: Mountains Beyond Mountains: the Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, a Man Who Would Cure the World, by Tracy Kidder. I've read other books by this author, he does a wonderful job on his research! However, that being said, his books are dense and full of details so I usually read a chapter or two, then something lighter, then come back again. Paul Farmer was a doctor, one who wanted to cure infectious diseases, particularly in Haiti. It was a long, hard journey! Some details are not for the faint of heart. Powerful.
