Each of these books were written by incredible, intelligent, strong, unique, funny, amazing independent women. Some of these…

This is my first Patricia Highsmith novel! I admit I watched the movie first, but it was ages ago and I don’t remember much other than the premise, but so far this novel is promising!

My book club is excited to read All Our Wrong Todays, the debut novel by Canadian author Elan Mastai! “You know the future that people in the 1950s imagined we’d have? Well, it happened. In Tom Barren’s 2016, humanity thrives in a techno-utopian paradise of flying cars, moving sidewalks, and moon bases, where avocados never…
