EARLY PRAISE

Ghosts of Harvard is written with a masterly, focused hand, belying the fact that this is Serritella’s debut novel. The pages burn with frenetic energy and are peopled by memorable, compelling characters. The tension is palpable, the twists and surprises perfectly timed and the stakes as high as humans should be asked to endure. The end result, a novel you will long remember and characters you will want to see again. A triumph in every respect.”
—#1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci

“Wow, what a lively, compelling, and intoxicating debut. Ghosts of Harvard is so many things—a rumination on grief, a glimpse behind the ivory walls of a famous institution, a poignant look at mental illness, and a powerful story about the ghosts that haunt us all. Francesca Serritella is my new ‘go-to’ author.”
—#1 New York Times bestselling author Harlan Coben

“Every time I thought I knew where Ghosts of Harvard was heading, I turned out to be wrong. Part mystery, part ghost story, part psychological thriller, this novel is all entertainment.”
—#1 New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult

Column Classic: You Say Tomato
By Lisa Scottoline
 
Did you hear about this?
I read in the newspaper that somebody noticed that red tomatoes sell better than greenish ones, so food engineers started changing the genetic makeup of tomatoes to make them redder, except that it also took out the taste.
I learned so much from this that I don’t know where to begin.
Number one, food has engineers?
I thought trains had engineers, and food had cooks.
I just went from choo-choo to chew-chew.

I have been saying for a couple years that tomatoes don’t taste like tomatoes anymore! Who knew!

Nothing beats a tomato from my garden, now to get in our winters ❤️

I don't even know where to start this is so funny! Thank you👏

This is hysterical! I never knew about the life of a tomato!

Oops...gmo food is everywhere. But green tomatoes are simply unripened red one, of which there are many. Buy organic and remember what a tomato tastes like. Tastes better in sauce, right?

Thank you so much for my Sunday morning humor!!!

Thank you for my Sunday smiles..you do it every time!❤️💜❤️💜

“To Catch A Salad Shooter”—lol!😂😂

Have you ever thought about doing some stand up comedy. You’ve certainly got all the material you will ever need. You have me laughing out loud and I for one ( and hopefully not the only one) who would gladly pay to see you up on that stage. 😂🤣

Nowadays mostly all of our fruits and vegetables are being genetically engineered and that is why they no longer have good taste. In addition, I feel that people are getting cancer because of all of these modifications. Why can’t our foods just be natural, tasty, and healthy any more?

Then apparently the engineers don't know about fried green tomatoes

Thanks for the Sunday morning laughs. 😄

So that's what happened to tomatoes. Those red things that I wait impatiently for each year. My Dad raised the best tomatoes in the world. No, I don't expect anyone to match his garden prowess but they should taste like real tomatoes. So each year I'm hopeful and each year I suffer the disappointment of those red, round objects that should taste like tomatoes but don't.

Love your writing !

Learn something new every day!

Another entertaining column, Lisa. Thank you.

😂😂😂😂😂

Hysterical!👏👏👏

Tomatoes do not smell like they used to!

There is so Much that we don’t know 🤣💕

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes g.co/kgs/tY7d37 A must see! Lol!
