I was absolutely thrilled with Adriana Herrera's refreshing approach to the historical romance genre! This story features BIPOC characters, adversity in business, a marriage of convenience, and a group of fierce female characters! From the first scene, I was cheering for our love interests' chemistry and banter. This book will appeal to readers looking for a sweet yet steamy romance with a fierce female protagonist.

How to Be Perfect: The Correct Answer to Every Moral Question By Michael Schur Cover Image

Published: Simon & Schuster - January 25th, 2022

This “primer on moral philosophy” is hilarious, warm, and best of all, accessible to those of us who don’t know very much about moral philosophy! I especially loved the emphasis on it being ok to make mistakes, as doing so can often feel so demoralizing, especially when you’re trying to learn and grow. Schur clearly put an abundance of time and care into HOW TO BE PERFECT, and his doing so has made it a work that I will read again and again!
