Great recommendation, thank you! I immediately thought of a book I read years ago, “The Mathematician’s Shiva”. Maybe it’s still on my shelves and I can reread it...

Oh Anthony might like it if he’s into mysteries! (But also you would too, and I don’t think we need to understand the hard math to like the book 😅)

Last Equation is on Amazon for $1.99 right now on Kindle, so if you're an eReader, maybe grab it!

Thanks for the recommendation. It sounds RIGHT UP MY ALLEY!!

When I first saw this post I thought ooh math and it reminded me of a book I read a few years ago called The Solitude of Prime Numbers by Paolo Giordano. After finishing this newsletter, I'm adding another book to my TBR. It almost sounds like a book I finished last week - Moorewood Family Rules.

Funnily enough, I've owned The Solitude of Prime Numbers for YEARS and still have not read it! I am going to make sure I get to it this year!

I also enjoyed Moorewood Family Rules! I'm such a sucker for a good large family fight over an inheritance :)

It was one of those I bought in pre-bookstagram simply because the cover caught my eye. I enjoyed it but it's not the most uplifting if you need to save it for a moody day.

I can never get through a single post of yours without adding to my library holds list, Cassie. This is a blessing and a curse, you know 😊

(Also: I love seeing your pile of book mail -- you should do include that more often!)

My favorite thing to hear! If my TBR stack is close to toppling over, I’m making everyone else’s topple over too 🥰🥰

(And yay! I always wonder if people get bored of them, but they’re my favorite thing to share!)

Do book people ever get tired of seeing MORE books? 🤔
