Thoughts on Jerome Groopman’s How Doctors Think (by Jill)

Reader, I finished it! Final thoughts on Diana Gabaldon’s Voyager (by Jill)
After what feels like the time it took Claire and Jamie to find each other again between the events of Dragonfly in Amber and Voyager, I finally finished the third book in the Outlander series yesterday afternoon. It was a … Continue reading

I’ve been thinking lately that I don’t give my dogs enough press on the blog. My cats get some, but the major focus is and always has been books. Duh, it’s a book blog, right? But progress on Voyager … Continue reading
Progress report on Diana Gabaldon’s Voyager (by Jill)
Today ended up being a read-all-day Thursday, which I desperately needed, complete with gloomy skies and a midday thunderstorm. The only downside to the dreary weather, as far as I’m concerned, is that my Golden Retriever Bailey has developed … Continue reading
Early Thoughts on Diana Gabaldon’s Voyager (by Jill)
