14. Finally finished reading Richard Powers' book, The Overstory and it is a masterpiece.

I highly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in covert resistance, nature, dendrology, climate change, and family stories.

Mary Doria Russell, one of my favorite writers, has a new one, The Women of Copper Country which is based on the life of Annie Clements of Calumet, MI.

Anna "Big Annie" Klobuchar Clemenc[a] (March 2, 1888 – July 27, 1956; pronounced "Clements"[4]) was an American labor activist. Born in Calumet, Michigan, she founded and served as president of the local Women's Auxiliary No. 15 of the Western Federation of Miners and was an active participant in the Copper Country Strike of 1913–1914. She is an inducted member of the Michigan Women's Hall of Fame.

Still wrangling 3 orphan kittens, though they have grown from bottle babies to little wild tigers.

Thanks for hosting the weekly thread, hermetic. I'm thrilled that you got a copy of The Testaments. That might be my next book.
