Edible Houseplants: Grow Your Own Citrus, Coffee, Vanilla, and 43 Other Tasty Tropical Plants by Byron E. Martin, Laurelynn G. Martin

I received a free review copy of this on NetGalley. As soon as I finished, it went to my book wish list. I very much need a copy of this to keep long term. This is a glorious reference book for how to properly care for fruiting tropical plants as container/porch plants. You get a discussion of varietals, feeding schedules, pruning instructions, and recipes for each plant. Honestly, if you can look through this and not want to have lemons and guavas in your living room, I don't think we can be friends, because I already got my lemon tree.

On Savage Shores: How Indigenous Americans Discovered Europe by Caroline Dodds Pennock
Did not finish book. Stopped at 44%.
Did not finish book. Stopped at 44%.
Mostly speculation. Disjointed story telling. Very little information I wasn't previously aware of.
