Thanks @Ddzmini for tagging me! I don't think there's such a thing as Monday funday, so I'm just going to say I'm late posting this!

1) I really like "micro-nonfiction", an entire book devoted to something that otherwise might be thought of as a small topic.
2) They're generally about subjects I would know absolutely nothing about.
3) I tagged the book I have read and here's one TBR: Salt by Mark Kurlansky

SRWCF Salt is sooooo good! I listened to the audio book years ago, and I was not disappointed. 2y
LaurenAsh Ohhhh, I might have to move it up the list, then! I read another book by him years ago and enjoyed it! 2y

Not book related but I finally have a sunflower! It's been 2 months in the making. The squirrels dug up all the other flowers I was trying to grow so my one sunflower is extra special.

I can‘t sleep, so a book about sunflowers seems in order. Not sure what I‘m getting myself into...🤣🌻
