The Great Transformation
Light Eaters: The New Science of Plant Intelligence by Zoe Schlanger, published by 4th Estate (the ' is my addition)

There is Nothing for You Here--
Bleak House
Dear Mrs. Bird by AJ Pearce, published by Picador
There is Nothing for You Here by Fiona Hill, published by Mariner Press
Bleak House by Charles Dickens, this edition published by Wordsworth Editions
I picked up the first title oin a charity shop and have yet to read it. Fiona Hill's book is excellent. Bleak House is in my plans--last read it decades ago (I think I read it), but plan to (re) read soon.
Emma,
The Blind Assassin--
Can You Forgive Her?
Emma by Jane Austen, this edition published by Penguin Popular Classics
The Blind assassin by Margaret Atwood, published by Virago
Can You Forgive Her, by Anthony Trollope, this edition published by The World's Classics
I liked Emma, loved The Blind Assassin, and haven't read the Trollope in decades. When Bill and I first got together, he talked about the Palliser series, of which this is the first one. I checked out a couple of books at a time from the library while I was pregnant. That was long ago and far away and it's also in my re-read plans.

“The Light Eaters” was truly excellent. If I am not mistaken it is Zoe Schlanger’s first (only?) book. I borrowed it from the library, but I will make it a point to get my own copy.
That book blew my mind, David. I was going to borrow it, but I wanted my own copy to mark up. I don't remember now whether the library even had it or not, but I'm really glad I own it. What an incredible book!
