Recommendations

What have you read or

seen lately? Email any and all recommendations to newsinfayetteville@ gmail.com. I recommend the book “Lessons in Chemistry”— an award-winning novel by Bonnie Garmus: “This is an easy, entertaining summer read. A brilliant chemist eschews convention and becomes a well-respected TV personality using chemistry principles to demonstrate how to prepare dinner. Her daughter and her dog are her unique sidekicks. Apple TV+ is picking it up as a TV series in October.”

Happy anniversary wishes are extended to: Joe and Amy Babin-August 2.
