4.4 The Lion Women of Tehran by Marjan KamaliThis is my favorite type of historical fiction. Kamali takes a tumultuous period in the history of Tehran and explores it through the lens of two women growing up in this society. It is part history, part political narrative, and a lot of interpersonal dynamics between two friends dealing with their changing lives and country.

4.2 Beach Read
4.2: Beach Read by Emily HenryOne of the reasons I love to read is to escape a little bit from every day life. And there is no better way to escape than in an Emily Henry book. The banter is sassy, the chemistry is firing, the plot is relatable and emotional. Beach Read checked all of the boxes for me and more and was the perfect weekend activity. Let me just say you will love this and I can't wait to hear your thoughts. If you want to watch this episode, you now can on our YouTube channel or listen here as always.
