The seed collectors by Thomas Scarlett
Some have received real seeds, others are deadly from the woman who ran the orchard and is now dead.
Others in the family and there seems to be such an emphasis placed on sex, adultery etc.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
Salmon: The Ultimate Guide by Kimberly Hansan
Love salmon and always willing to try new recipes.

Some of the recipes use grams and metric measurements for ingredients and other recipes use cup and teaspoon (American) measurements.
Not sure why the two different kinds.
Lots of different choices and combinations of flavors.
