Fiction
Lessons in Chemistry
By Bonnie Garmus | DOUBLEDAY | $29
Elizabeth Zott is a brilliant scientist trying to make it in a man's world in the 1960s. Out of a job when she gets pregnant, she uses her talent for chemistry to land herself in the unlikeliest of places as the beloved host of Supper at Six, an unusual cooking show with a distinctly feminist point of view. Chock-full of historical details and endearing characters, you'll cheer on Zott and her distinctive show sign-off: "Children, set the table. Your mother needs a moment to herself." ▸ Meredith Wolf Schizer, Senior Editor
Book Lovers
By Emily Henry BERKLEY | $27
In Book Lovers, Emily Henry both embraces and breaks the classic rom-com mold with a heroine who navigates romantic and familial love in the most beautiful way, but doesn't have to change what makes her strong, ambitious and unique in order to get there. This novel is gripping, hilarious and touching on every page.
▸ Zoe Strozewski, Politics Reporter
