Status Updates From Flower Diary: In Which Mary...

A mention of William Osler's contribution to scientography in Canada and the Anglosphere provides context to Hiester Reid's pain and women's medical experiences up to the present, such as a poet, which our biographer is, is uniquely apt to make. I dislike most Group of Seven work, by the way.

A fascinating and equally bizarre biography of titular character...more to come

OMGLOL this biographer is trying way too hard to write sexy.

Yes, I know I'm supposed to be finishing startitis books. But this is from the section about artists, not authors. I figured I would forget about it if I didn't read it right away. It was an awful boring day with nothing to do but go to the library, and it took me all day to find a voice I could get into. To compensate for starting this one, I pushed myself to finish another book quickly.
