Fever by Laurie Anderson. Historical fiction about the Yellow Fever epidemic in Philadelphia in 1793. Very well done. A good read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wish You Were Here by Jodi Picoult. Fiction, set during the Pandemic, interesting but not brilliant. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Emperor of All Maladies by Siddhartha Mukherjee. Nonfiction. Very interesting.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Nutmeg’s Curse by Amitav Ghosh. History, ecology, climate change. I should have really liked this book but I didn’t. He makes his points about 5000 times and by about one third of the way through the book, I’d had enough. Not up to his usual standard. ⭐️⭐️
The Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler. Post Apocalyptic fiction. Well done but I didn’t care to read the sequel. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Audiobook: Countdown by Alan Weismann ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
