What 's on your bedside table Challenge

I am currently reading "The Black Death: a personal history" by John Hatcher. Yep nerd that I am, I don't get enough of infectious diseases at work so I read about them in my down time too! Actually my boss lent it to me as he is also a disease freak :)

John Hatcher is a historian trying to capture the nitty gritty of life during the Black Death or plague outbreak in an England village. So far, it is a little slow as he is clearly fascinated by every historical detail. But it is still interesting. I am of course eagerly awaiting the gory details that he should delve into when the plague starts to hit..

Gee I am not as boring as I might sound - hehe if you read my blog at least you know I do have other hobbies other than work lol!

I get it ... I was reading a Pulitzer Prize winner about slavery. Not the fluff that I'm reading now with Julie & Julia ...

That would be an interesting read! I did some research when I was prac teaching a gifted and talented class when they were doing a unit about the plague... we all found it very fascinating. I read education textbooks for fun too, sometimes, lol.

About Me

My Photo
Amy
I am 30 years old, am a microbiologist with a PhD and love looking after my little farm. I compete in dressage and showjumping with my horses. I have a passion for shopping and a weakness for pretty clothes, shoes and handbags. My husband and I have a gorgeous toddler called Elka and a little bub named Bronte. I am a mother who works and has a career - just don't call me a "working mother". I don't do inside hobbies and craft and have only successfully sewn two things in my life that weren't ripped horserugs. The scientist in me makes me a little cynical and I am more likely to tell you about my life and events then give you a pretty polaroid style picture and an inspiring quote. Not for everyone but I have a bad memory and blogging is my way of recording life :)
