When life gives you lemurs

5 stars

Highly recommended. Think Gerald Durrell with a darker past.
A dim prognosis

5 stars
The final diagnosis

By Cynric Temple-Camp

5 stars

Perspectives into forensic pathology and how high profile cases were solved using the expertise of pathologists. In addition, there's insight into how this lab helped to problem solve against the odds to help diagnose COVID before RATs became available.
That one patient

By Ellen de Visser

4 stars

Patient and colleague interactions are critical for teaching empathy, building emotional intelligence and enhancing personal growth. It can only be learned by having those rich and often painful experiences and reflecting on them afterwards. I'm a huge fan of life stories and each patient story is limited to two pages, therefore it's an effective bedtime read!
An angel at my table

By Janet Frame

2 stars

A marathon of a book due to the amount of detailed memories included in it. Just like a marathon, it was a highly unusual choice for me, I'll be elated when it's over and I'll definitely never repeat it!
Water

By John Boyne

5 stars

I got FOMO after the WGC book club were discussing this one. Easily doable in a day! I've never returned a library book within 48 hours before. Can't wait to devour the other books in the series.
The good life

By Sarah O'Neil

3 stars

An honest warts 'n' all account of the trials, tribulations and rewards of growing your own kai
Box of birds

By Stephen Stowers

4 stars

Interesting autobiography. A disillusioned Cardiologist moves from the US to NZ and notes the enormous differences between both countries in their approach to patient care. As part of a research team on the North Island, he measured coronary calcium levels using CT scans as an early indicator of atherosclerotic plaque. This helped reduce the need for invasive, expensive and sometimes ineffective treatments and ultimately improved patient outcomes. Clever stuff!
My friends

By Fredrik Backman

4 stars

Recommended by the members of the WGC book club. Worth waiting for them to return their copies so I could take one for the holidays! It grabbed me about half way through and I struggled to put it down thereafter.

By bill bryson

5 stars
