Amy asked Bonnie Garmus:

Please lets hear more from Six-Thirty or his counter parts? I absolutely love what you did with his character. It wasn't sappy but meaningful. Thank you for that. Beautifully and lovingly done.

Bonnie Garmus Thanks so much, Amy! Six-Thirty has his very own chapter in the Barnes & Noble exclusive edition (includes an extra chapter at the end which was cut from an earlier draft). There may be more coming from him and a few of the others, but no promises quite yet. I'm working on another book and I hope to get through that first!

M A Spiro asked Bonnie Garmus:

The fact that you are a copywriter (I'm a science/PR writer) and this is your debut gives me hope there's still a chance I'll write that book that's been simmering on the back Bunsen burner of my brain. I enjoyed Lessons in Chemistry thoroughly. I wish I'd been more like Elizabeth Zott in my early professional attempt to become a laboratory scientist. Are you happy with the Apple TV adaptation?

Sconnor asked Bonnie Garmus:

Hi Bonnie! I'm a retired medical technologist who 'touched' on chemistry back in the day (barely passed organic chem)...I am trying to figure out what is the molecule Elizabeth Zott put on Calvin's gravestone in chapter 15..WHAT IS IT?!! LOL> we have several theories between my spouse and I...fertilizer?? Soil?? Decomposition?? Where did you find it/ how did you figure it out? Thanks very much

Margot MacKay asked Bonnie Garmus:

My class is curious: Why did you choose that name for your own dog? It's my third year teaching this book to juniors in Cherry Hill, NJ and I can't wait to dig in with my kids!
