Food for thought.

One gem amongst many.

"Botanists have a tradition of never revealing the exact location of a rare plant. Contact between humans and rare plants is generally risky for the plants."

I'm taking a week off at Christmas and plan on the #UltimateVacation (not leaving the house, staying in my jammies, and reading books all week). Please give me your #BookRecommendations #bookrec

I've found great books outside my "usual" genres, so feel free to expand my horizons, but I've really enjoyed anything by #StephenKing, #NeilGaiman, #TerryPratchett, most historical fiction, books about public health #StevenThrasher, #LaurieGarrett, #MichaelOsterholm, #RichardPreston
