Friends it has been a week of trying to be brave and trying to do things that scare me, all while being in a lot of physical pain. To cope, I’ve been reading

Maggie Smith
‘s tremendous new book You Could Make this Place Beautiful. As soon as I finished reading, I wanted to chat with you about it. (Naturally. You are my favourite people to talk to about books.) I’ve recorded a little voice note about my thoughts (below) and I’m hoping we can have a little bookclub in June where we can talk about the book. Details for the bookclub are below as well, and I’ll drop details of how to join in our chat group, or in a separate post.
