Some might find this biography rather dry, but I found it fascinating. #NFNovember #FirstListen

1) I cannot choose.Before the clocks moved back, I witnessed the sun rise on the way to work- starting my day that way made me feel such gratitude for our planet. Now that the sun sets so early, I have mixed feelings- I walk after work so I have to get out of the house immediately! Yet witnessing those sunsets are such a lovely way to say goodbye to the day. I cannot choose!
2) NYC books Paris

Finished 6 NONFICTION books in October. The tagged book was my favorite. I love biographies, especially when they are about fascinating people I didn‘t know anything about.

I didn‘t know much about legendary editor Judith Jones, but after reading this book I‘m intrigued by her life story. Over her long career at Alfred A. Knopf, she nurtured the fledgling works of Sylvia Plath, John Updike and Anne Tyler, and became the go-to editor for cookbook authors —including Julia Child. Along the way she dealt with gender discrimination in the workplace. She was a fascinating woman.

Suet624 Wow. I‘ve never heard of her. 1mo

Amiable @Suet624 I hadn‘t, either! It was an interesting story, for sure. 1mo
