Releases March 23rd Get it on Amazon https://amzn.to/3pE8qxR Ah, the real and fictional romantic story of Marie Curie's life. I have heard of her, but never really knew much about her. Other than she is the first woman to receive two Nobel Prize awards in her field. Marie Curie is also remembered for her discovery of radium and polonium, and her huge contribution to finding treatments for cancer. It's an honor to know a woman was celebrated in the early 1900's. It was very much a male-dominated field and time. Half Life by Jillian Cantor is a "what if"  or a "what could have been' scenario. For fans of science and the people who work in it, that like a bit of fun fiction thrown in to add levity, I have no doubt you'll enjoy this read. ~Tanja From the Cover... In Poland in 1891, Marie Curie (then Marya Sklodowska) was engaged to a budding mathematician, Kazimierz Zorawski. But when his mother insisted she was too poor and not good enough, he broke off

Released March 9th This is my first read by Victoria James and It won't be my last! I will be purchasing the previous two books in the series ASAP.

All three of them have had a raw deal and watching the journey of them becoming a strong unit is beautiful. What a great introduction to an author and series.

OUT NOW! When they said swindlers, grifters, and shapeshifters of the feminine persuasion, honey, they weren't lying! I had the best time reading this book. I know it sounds weird, but to be able to discover what women have done, albeit a bit off, over the years in what usually is male behavior, that btw is praised in certain situations, is just plain fun. Absolutely brilliant! I loved every moment of it. ~Tanja From the Cover...

OUT NOW!! Accidentally Engaged kicks off with a fantastic "meet cute". Reena Manji, somewhat dutiful daughter, Bread Goddess, mother of Brian the Rye starter, and neighbor to Nadim. It's funny, crammed full of quotable quips, especially Reena's internal monologue, and just an all-around good time read. I mean, with a family like hers you need a sense of humor.

Now Reena's parents have found her yet anot

Released March 2nd  from William Morrow Wow, just wow. I love it when a book grabs me out of left field and holds on. It's been a few weeks since I've read The Restoration of Celia Fairchild and I haven't been able to get it out of my mind. I think it's a cross between my southern roots and the way I connected to Celia's southern surroundings and the people in it. The homespun sayings and thought processes. I can't even count how many times I gave a knowing nod, laughed out loud at the way of thinking, or the acts of expected decorum. Those that know, know.  "--it's the south. We have rules." I found The Restoration of Celia Fairchild to be a heartbreaking yet self-affirming read about people who do the best they can to see themselves in new lights, and discover that life has a way of changing not only your circumstances but the way you see yourself, who you are, and what you can do.  ~Tanja   From the Cover... Evvie Drake Starts Over meets The Fri
