“Here for It” by Amy Weatherly and Jess Johnston, a book about friendship. Authentic, complicated, and beautiful friendships. I was not sure if I was going to like this book, but it had a great Queso recipe. I am glad I read it. I like how the chapters were structured...

I enjoy reading books with strong women characters. Again the Wind by Amanda Cabot is one of these books. Louisa, is a doctor during a time period when women were not respected or valued or even had jobs outside of the home. The storyline is really good and it...
