I love a book, especially romances that focus on women in STEM. I’ve spent my entire career in the Technology arena, and I generally am the only female on my teams. I’ve been lucky to have always worked with a great group of engineers who treat me as an equal, but I know this isn’t…

Bear with Me Now
Bear With Me Now, is a cute read. While half the story takes place in New York City, the other half takes place in the wilderness and I highly enjoyed all of Darcy’s wilderness facts! However, for being a light romance, this has some fairly heavy topics such as mental health, death, and addicts. Shepard…

The Secret Book of Flora Lea
I’ve been on an unintentional historical fiction hiatus lately but decided to dive back into it once I read the synopsis of Patii Callahan Henry’s upcoming release The Secret Book of Flora Lea. I’m so glad I decided to read this book because while it’s not actually a magical realism or fantasy story, it was pure…

All in all, starting a new life isn’t easy and definitely…
The Only Survivors
This was exactly what I needed! I finished the queen of crime’s Will Trent series, aka Karin Slaughter, and have been majorly slumping lately. I just couldn’t sit down with anything and get further than a page or two. But when I started Megan Miranda’s upcoming release, I was hooked! 10 years ago, an accident…
Romantic Comedy
Full transparency, I’ve never read a Curtis Sittenfeld book and I honestly thought this was a male author so when it seems to take a more feminist stance on topics, I was like ‘uhh wait a minute’. However, I think I’ll be adding the rest of Sittenfeld’s books to my TBR, because this was a…
