@Luvsmyfam   I just finished The Nature of Fragile Things.  I enjoyed this book, liked the historical background of the San Francisco earthquake and was surprised by a lot of the book.  Found it interesting.

 

As I side note to you,  I also have 2 broken off teeth.  The roots are still in my jaw.  One of the teeth, the back half is still there probably because it the tooth was attached to the next tooth by a bridge.  So I am looking at dental surgery and either all uppers pulled and an upper denture or the two broken ones plus their adjoining tooth pulled and a partial plate.  The soonest appointment I can get with the oral surgeon is the middle of March and that is only the consultation not the procedure.  Don't worry about the extraction, I have had a couple in the past and they are not a big deal.

The Vanishing Half I have read last year when it first came out and was very good.  The other I have not yet read.  The Nature of Fragile Things' synopsis on Goodreads sounds like something I would enjoy.

@Luvsmyfam I read the Vanishing Half, last year and it was really good, it was part of our BookClub read, and most enjoyed it. I haven't heard about the other book you mentioned, will have to go on GoodReads and check into it.
