I finished two good novels last week. One is Rhododendron Pie by Margery Sharp, a novel first published in 1930. The other is Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawlett, a fantasy published a couple of weeks ago. The two books were very different stories, but they were both completely charming.

Last week I posted here at Readerbuzz:
Oprah selected Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole by Susan Cain as the most recent selection of her book club. I found a copy at my library, happily. In the first chapter, "What is Sadness Good For?" Cain recommends a short video produced by the Cleveland Clinic to instill empathy in its caregivers. Whew. It's heartwrenching.
