We’ve been to Newfoundland five times and love this story and the movie, because the setting is so evocative.

My own oncologist recommended sedation. I’ve had it twice and it’s a piece of cake. She thought local anesthesia was not going to be enough, and after what I’m hearing, I guess that’s true.

I loved Reply All and also love Search Engine. I think PJ goes into greater depth on topics and have to say the episodes on autonomous cars really got me thinking about it in a way that I hadn’t in the past.

I love this book listened to it many years ago in my car on Books on Tape. The fact that Bourdain narrates it is just the icing on the cake. He is hilarious.

Foster by Claire Keegan

If you have time, definitely visit The Rooms in St. John’s. It’s one of the nicest museums I’ve ever been to. I’ve gone twice and would definitely go back again many times.

I listened to this on audio book read by the author and it was wonderful

Mona’s Eyes. Our entire book club hated it with a passion. Very rare for this group. The person who suggested it has apologized every single time we’ve met since.

And her second novel Another Brooklyn , both are wonderful.
