Micro
This book is fascinating and the topic is very Crichton-worthy. I don’t quite think it would have completely ended up with the storyline it did if Cricton had finished it instead of someone else.

Paris Architect
Books set during World War II tend to stick with me and this one will. Paris was a city under German control, but Parisians had certain freedoms as long as they didn’t sympathize with the Resistance or hide Jews. Lucien was more than happy to follow these rules until he got an offer he couldn’t refuse.

Woman Who Smashed Codes
History lovers will really enjoy reading The Woman Who Smashed Codes. While the FBI and CIA often took credit for what the Friedmans accomplished for the U.S., this book tells the true story. And, it’s fascinating.

Project Hail Mary 2
Project Hail Mary is not just for science fiction lovers. Readers of good fiction will enjoy this story about what people will do to save other living creatures.

The Switch
The Switch is a perfect summer read and was a fun book to escape into when I read at night. It’s all about family, friends, love and making sure you don’t overlook the people right around you. If you’re looking for something fun and light, you’d enjoy The Switch.
