pickThe bits about medical procedures & treatments were fascinating (& alarming). Doctors were doing some pretty grisly, backward stuff, essentially groping along in the dark trying to save lives and ending many in the process (although infection would probably have done the job anyway). Joseph Lister is one who shined a light & helped lay the foundation for modern medicine. 👇🏼

I‘ve always wanted to read this, but the page count has held me back. Checking out the audio version instead. McCullough has a nice, deep voice and is great to listen to.
Some of my favorite #bluebooks that are on my shelves! #30junebooks @howjessreads
Next audiobook on Libby. Has anyone read this one?
Off topic but it hardly ever happens that I prefer tv to books. While watching this I sometimes wished I was reading but no, I can‘t close my eyes for this. A hard truth and brilliant actors. Heartbreaking 💔💔
pickSigmund portrays eight women who were close to the Nazi elite. Here are the wives of Göring, Magda Goebbels and Eva Braun. It was interesting to read their different stories but also to see the similarities. A lot of them were fanatic believers in Nazi ideology even though it assigned them an inferior status. It also made me think about their guilt. They had no official positions to order people killed, but they supported those who could.
#riotgrams day 17 bookmarks. More than a little in love with London. My true love.
While the parts about the science & medicine were engaging, I found some of the biography of Lister himself & the descriptions of hospital politics tedious. 5h
