[QUOTE="dunelm, post: 2203825, member: 179219"] Good morning everyone from a very pleasant dawn in the dark and dangerous north - it looks a bit chilly willy outside but I have turned the blast furnace down half a notch to see if the resistance notices. The wonder wheel of deception and misdirection came in at a Jasper Maskelyne 4.7 this a.m. (45 minutes later and it’s up to 5.6). I have just finished my latest book, Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult. The title is taken from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who once said, “If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way.” It’s a novel about power and racism set around the death of a baby. As the author points out in her notes, “When I was researching this book, I asked white mothers how often they talked about racism with their children. Some said occasionally; some admitted they never discussed it. When I asked the same question of Black mothers, they all said,[I] Every day[/I]. I’ve come to see that ignorance is a privilege, too.” My new book is called Nation - a philosophical yet humorous romp through the mind of the late Sir Terry Pratchet (or so the review notes state). Not a great deal on the family calendar of shared wishes for this weekend but grandchildren of differing age brackets and walking skills will be involved. Have a wonderful weekend if you can. “Health is not a state we owe the world. We are not less valuable, worthy, or lovable because we are not healthy. Lastly, there is no standard of health that is achievable for all bodies.” ― Sonya Renee Taylor, [URL='https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/56231062']The Body Is Not an Apology: The Power of Radical Self-Love[/URL].
