[quote=Anonymous]Books I have read in the last few weeks:
Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus.  It is about a female scientist in the 1950's who keeps trying to get a doctoral education as a research chemist but encounters sexism at every turn.  Finally she takes a job as a cooking show host and the show ends up being very popular. I thought the book was fun.  I looked up the author and she has a second novel coming out in October.

Such Quiet Girls by Noelle Ihli.  This was about a school bus with 10 kids and a bus driver on it and they are all kidnapped and put in an underground container.  The book was fiction but inspired by a real event that happened in California in 1976.  I thought the book was really good.  I couldn't put it down from start to finish.  I plan to check out what else this author has written next time I am in the mood for a "whodunit" type of book.

I also finished the 17th and final book in a cozy mystery series about a caterer in Colorado.  I enjoyed every book in the series. I joked to my family while reading them over the last year or so that I would never hire her to cater a party since so many people end up getting murdered when she is around.

And I read the 5th book in a cozy mystery series about Finlay Donovan, who is a novelist and accidental contract killer. I find this series fun and look forward to reading the next book in the series. [/quote]
