Last year, I surpassed my 52 book goal and read a total of 68 books. As a parent of two teens, I found this book to be a helpful resource.Ī new year means new reading goals. The Parent Compass: Navigating Your Teen’s Wellness and Academic Journey in Today’s Competitive World by Cynthia Clumeck Muchnick and Jenn Bowie Curtis (nonfiction, September 2020) This parenting book explores supporting teen mental health and navigating the academics of high school and the college admissions process. The book is told through their letters as they bond over their love of food and reveal details of their personal lives. Love & Saffron: A Novel of Friendship by Kim Fay (Historical Fiction, February 2022) 1960’s America and Joan and Imogen become pen pals. I really enjoyed Zott’s character as a strong, independent woman, when women weren’t treated as equals to men. I knew nothing about this book before reading it. Several years later, Zott is a single mom who ends up with a television show called Supper at Six, where she empowers women to take charge of their lives. While working at Hastings Research Institute, she meets Nobel-prize nominated Calvin Evans and the two hit it off. Lessons In Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus (Historical Fiction, March 2022) It’s the 1960’s and Elizabeth Zott is trying to make her mark as a chemist in the male-dominated field. The story had me guessing and was intriguing enough to keep me interested. As we find out more about the families of Alton Road, we learn that there are many secrets being kept. Interspersed through the story is gossip and speculation via the Meadowbrook community Facebook group. The Block Party by Jamie Day (Thriller, July 2023) ARC c/o NetGalley – It’s the Alton Road annual Memorial Day Block Party. This book was suspenseful, but I found it so unrealistic on so many levels. She is then put to the test when she becomes a participant in the family’s Christmas game.
