Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons. The film adaptation is also excellent. I have often used it's lines in general conversation with great success. "Worst fears realized, Seth and Ruben too. Need help. Send magazines."

So strange, but I was just wondering about you yesterday, Nicci! Thanks for the update. So sorry you're still struggling with the spotting and female issues. I definitely get it when it comes to stepping away from devices and the full inbox. Hopefully when you are able, you can let me know if my comments on the draft of your memoir were helpful. I'll be working on my first revision by year's end.

One book I think everyone should read: Non-violent Communication by Rosenburg. I think if everyone adopted his way of speaking, or at least tried, it would fix a lot of problems we see today. I don't think it would work quite as well as he hopes--I think some people really just see conversation as a zero-sum game with one winner and one loser--but I think it would be a great start.

Glad you're better; sorry things still aren't right. I hope the doctor figures it out soon!

Congratulations on the award, Nicci! It's so good to see you pop up here. I've been wondering how you were. I think there's a time for writing, in life, and a time to collect fodder.
