Jennifer McLean asked Bonnie Garmus:

I am enthralled with "Lessons in Chemistry". I've been a lifelong believer in women's rights & equality . Your book says what I believe with so much more eloquence, so beautifully thought out & executed. Thank you for such a rare, nuanced, exquisitely imagined book. I hope you have more bad days at work if this is what comes of them! You're my new favorite author. Since a question is needed, when is your next book?

Bonnie Garmus Jennifer, this made me laugh! I guess I hope I have more bad days at work, too--constructive anger can go a long way, right? I'm working on my next book, but am still in the promotional stage for Lessons in Chemistry and the two are at odds with each other. But I hope to be concentrating more fully on my next book soon.

Janeymo asked Bonnie Garmus:

Firstly, I’m a HUGE fan of Lessons in Chemistry! The book was fabulous (I’m not so sure about the TV adaptation, honestly, I think Sixthirty lost his voice) I had a thought just now in a completely different context. I am a fan of Elizabeth Zimmermann - an icon of the knitting world (yes, that is a thing!) is there any of Zimmermann in your Zott, or is the initials and similarity in life outlook purely accidental?

So glad my teammates recommended your book! Loved it! Happy to have you row with our Master's Team if your travels bring you this way. What's your preferred erg workout when you can't get on the water?
