Martin asked Bonnie Garmus:

Not a really a question, more an enormous thank you for "Lessons in Chemistry". Wonderful. I heard about it through my wife's all women book club and absolutely loved it. Shall look forward to your next novel. Can't seem to get men interested in a book club in our small Devon UK village:-( Any idea when your next will be done?

Bonnie Garmus Thanks, Martin! Not sure when my next book will be done, but I'm working on it. Thanks so much for reading. And yes...why are book clubs predominately women? Although I did zoom with an all-man book club a few months back--they were great--so I guess there are some!

Nancy Anderson asked Bonnie Garmus:

No questions...just raves! I too was in the advertising business starting in the early 70's. I can relate to so much of what you wrote about in "Lessons"! My memories of the book include many laugh-out-loud moments & my husband's repeatedly asking "what ARE you laughing about?" Thank you for bringing such joy to our otherwise difficult world. Hopefully six-thirty or perhaps ninety-nine will resurface again!

Vicky Michaud asked Bonnie Garmus:

Dedication written by my 15 year-old son in his girlfriend's Lessons in Chemistry X-mas gift: "This book gives an important message to respect and appreciate the women around us and to treat them as equals. I find this message reflects my feelings perfectly about you. I appreciate you lots for who you are, and you are detrimentally important to me. I will never treat you in any other way." So thankful, BG! (?)

Asc asked Bonnie Garmus:

Like everyone I’m in love with the book. I bought it on kindle and it’s so hard to re-read bits so I’m going to buy it in hardback!. I was desperate to find out who could have written such a book so read your bio and to my astonishment you also swim at the Hampstead Ponds! I’m writing a book and I’m finding cold water swimming helps me think through blocks or plot options. Has swimming helped you in this way?
