The Unthinkable: who survives when disaster strikes — and why, by Amanda Ripley. What a fascinating book!

I have been enjoying all of Daniel Silva’s books, but for whatever reason have hit a wall with A Death in Vienna. A good book, but I’ve had a LOT of distractions lately.

Husband and I are also reading The All New Square Food Gardening, planning on growing some vegetables this year.

I’m reading the original Marco Polo with my 10 dd. Did you know it documents Christian persecution by the Caliph of Baghdad only to have him secretly convert when a cobbler prays to God for a mountain to be removed, and it is, when an earthquake hits? I had never heard that story before.

I read the original “Square Foot Gardening” many years ago. Is there anything really new or different in the version you are reading?
