Lessons in Chemistry
By Bonnie Garmus Well, this one was supposed to be presented on the podcast, but life happens and we struggled to nail down a date and Kay struggled to get into it. I will admit, it was a tough read. It was intellectual and women’s lib-esque. Elizabeth is a chemist in a man’a world in…

Whisper Network
by Chandler Baker I thought this one was a bit of a flop, readers. You can try to convince me differently of course. I’m not a huge fan of super politicized and charged books. I read for fun to escape the rawness of real life folks, not to be fired up and angry about a…

Don’t Make a Sound
by T.R. Ragan What a great book! This is the first in a trilogy, and it did not disappoint. I can’t wait to read another one of these! We are introduced to Sawyer who is a newbie journalist who gets called out to fill in as a photographer on a crime scene for a homicide.…

Abuela, Don’t Forget Me
by Rex Ogle This book was not what I expected it to be and a little different writing style than I’m used to, and I liked it. It is kind of poet style but still in chapters. Rex is the author and protagonist. He writes about his grandmother, Abuela, who not only cared for, loved…

Love by Design
by Nora Roberts If you haven’t had a chance to read any of Nora Roberts’ books, you should. I say that because this read was not one of her bests, but she is a notable author in her genre and I have read rather good novels by her. This book has two stories that sort…

The Night Swim
By Megan Goldin This was a great book and when a friend initially gave me this book because she landed with two copies, I didn’t realize that I had read another book by the same author. I really enjoy her style writing and am thoroughly looking forward to more. This one is a story about…

Carrie Soto is Back
by Taylor Jenkins Reid Well, she’s done it again. If you remember, we discussed The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo on the podcast; this is the same author. She is great at story telling. I am definitely recommending this one. Carolina Soto is a professional tennis player trained by her father who was a great…

The Hunt (Peter Decker/Rina Lazarus #27)
By Faye Kellerman I got the opportunity to read one of my new series newest books before it is published, and it did not disappoint. I absolutely love Kellerman’s style and her details about Jewish culture. This was a little different pace than her usual Decker/Lazarus book as we also see Chris Donatti’s side of…

The Love Hypothesis
by Ali Hazelwood What a cute novel! If you like some academia and some romance, this is the book for you. I’ve never read any of Hazelwood’s novels, but am now curious. Olive is a PhD student who wants to allow her best friend to date her ex-boyfriends, so she facilitates a kiss with a…
