I’m watching you on 11/20 and I STILL have a headache (from the election results). Quite an eclectic selection for November! And your scenery is always uplifting!
Hi Heidi! Great reading month for you. Thanks for sharing a snippet of your life. You live in a beautiful part of the world. Take care and I wish you all the best in the next four years. Sending good vibes from 🇨🇦.
Escapist reading and informative reading is exactly what I have been able to do lately. Glad you found some good stuff! I also really appreciate you talking about perimenopause and books related to that. I am trying to fold some books on this area into my reading and always looking for recommendations 😊
Good for you to get informed about Estrogen. Everyone has to do a risk analysis, but luckily my PC physician was up on the research and recommended some hormone replacement (in my case Estradiol cream) to prevent UTIs (urinary tract infections). People don't often talk about it, but many women end up in the ER with severe UTI infections due to lack of hormones after menopause. My mother had breast cancer and so I did do a risk analysis before taking it. I'm 69 and I have seen many more women discussing the topic so we should all be better informed.
@@Tensytheneedlesmith Yes! I am glad menopause is being more widely discussed. I am especially glad women are sharing their experiences with each other. I know my mom has suffered with UTIs post menopause.
The Estrogen-book sounds very thorough, maybe something for me. (Even though it might be a bit late, as I'm way past the hormone-stuff. LoL.) And Barilla-Pasta is the best!
I'm glad you were able to get back on your game after the election. I'm in Canada and it took me out for a few days too. Back on with a vengance now. I may pick up Estrogen Matters simply to read the results so I'm better informed.
Loved the vlog as always. Currently reading An Unfinished Love Story by Doris Kearns Goodwin--might be a good one for when you get to Kennedy or Johnson (but there are so many for those presidents) and I am enjoying this for an inside look at a presidentcial insider. Then listening to another Maine book The Cliffs by J. Courtney Sullivan. This is surprising me at every turn--most about the indigenous peoples who first settled Maine--many don't seem to like it as the story gets a little lost in all the information about the Wabanaki and the Wampanoag tribes and the early colonial settlers but that is the part I am loving. I'm only about 1/3 of the way in but would highly recommend at this point.
@@Ihearbooks I just started No Ordinary Time by DKG this morning! I really like her writing style. I have never read any J Courtney Sullivan and I really need to change that. The Cliffs sounds very interesting.
Upon hearing the US election result, and after going through the emotional roller coaster of processing that information, the thought did cross my mind that at least Heidi will have one less book to read in her presidential biography challenge! There are not many silver linings to be had, so I’m holding onto that one!
Sorry for the long post earlier that must have gotten deleted or hidden. I should have just said: Thanks for sharing, Heidi, and I can relate. 💙 Take care! 🌿
@@LauraRodriguez-Peace oh no! I am so sorry your comment disappeared. RUclips can be so temperamental. Thanks for watching and commenting! We will get through this together!
I'm finally reading The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks for nonfictionnovember. I'm so glad to finally get to it. Who knew that the history of cell culture could be so fascinating?

@@themusicsnob Better living through books! I’m glad there are so many more resources available about perimenopause these days.
That was a great science quite you used from that Estrogen book Heidi. Also great vlog and varied titles as well!
@@TriumphalReads Thank you! I got a lot out of Estrogen Matters.

@@louisep1962 Books are always my comfort zone. Estrogen Matters would be a good one to pick up from the library if you just want to skim through.
@myreadinglife8816 Good idea! I just put it on hold at my library.
Love that science quote. Gorgeous fall leaves. I might need to finish the ACOTAR series now. I think I’ve only read three.
@@alldbooks9165 They are oddly addictive in that the writing is not great, but you get sucked into the plot lines.

I'm not a basketball fan, but you've definitely piqued my interest in There's Always This Year. All the Sam Adams making me jealous.
@@EveningReader LOL Sam Adams is my husband’s favorite brand of beer. Abdurraqib is a tremendous writer.

@@LouiseReader That is such a great book! I also found it fascinating!
