This story would have been better for the February issue of The Buzz since we got a major snow storm the day after we finished delivery. But I didn’t know the forecast enough in advance. And it was, in fact, that snowstorm that brought these memories back to life in my mind, and made me decide to share them with you. For the sake of the story, it would be nice if we had a major snowfall in March - which conceivably could happen but it won’t this year.

March is Women’s History Month. What better place to start than with a new book from Pulitzer Prize-winning author Anne Tyle, one of our most esteemed living fiction writers. Some may remember her great novels from years ago: Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant , The Accidental Tourist , and Breathing Lessons , among many others. Baltimore has been her principal location for her fiction as it is in her newest book, French Braid . Beginning with a family vacation in 1959, Tyler takes us along on a brilliantly perceptive journey deep into one family’s foibles from a boyfriend with a red Chevy in the 1950s to a longed-for reunion with a grandchild in our pandemic present. Margaret Atwood, celebrated as the author of The Handmaid’s Tale , offers us nearly two decades of her musings in Burning Questions: Essays and Occasional Pieces , 2004-2021. In more than 50 pieces, Atwood aims her prodigious intellect and impish humor at the world, taking us on a roller-coaster
