Merry Christmas everyone! This year, as you may know, I was supposed to be on my continued hiatus, but I can’t seem to resist sharing my thoughts on the books I read so here I am, emerging once again from hibernation to recap some of the books I’ve read this fall/early winter. Anyhow, this list features brief, one-line reviews so if you weren’t a fan of my usual sprawling review style then this is the complete opposite.
Any book recommendations for me to indulge in over winter?
Follow me on Goodreads if you’d like to keep up with all of the books I read, reviewed or not!

Summer is coming to an end (I’m honestly relieved because it gets WAY too hot in summer lol), but I decided to share some “beach reads” I tried. Who knows, maybe they’ll help you summer-lovers extend the season in your hearts or something but some of these actually fit the pumpkin spice season just fine.

I’ve officially caught up on (almost) all things Mindy McGinnis, finally reading her entire backlist except things like short stories and co-writing projects done for other authors. But McGinnis’ solo stuff? I’m all caught up and what a wild ride. The first book of hers that I read was The Female of the Species and from that moment I was hooked (it’s still my favorite though I wish they hadn’t changed the cover recently. The original cover shown in this post looks like it’s a book with something to say while the new cover just looks like creepy semi-abstract art imo). I read Heroine, Be Not Far From Me, The Initial Insult duology…then it was time to partner with my library’s resources to find everything else I’d missed. My conclusion? She’s still one of my top favorite authors who can tackle any genre that comes to her mind and one day I hope to meet her.
In this post I’ve included brief reviews for all of her books (except sequels though most of her books are stand-alones anyway) and if I’d written a longer review (you know how I like to ramble haha) then I’ve included the link. So scroll through and see if anything catches your fancy. She really is a talented author and at the very least her books will make you think twice before settling in Ohio lol.

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.
