Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus and The Invisible Hour by Alice Hoffman. Just finished The Dictionary of Lost Words, American Dirt, and This Tender Land.

Funny you posted a photo of a library. My friend and I are going to visit the Troy Public Library (NY). It has Tiffany windows. There is also a Tiffany backdrop behind the circulation desk and the librarians will turn on the lights if asked.

My friend is a retired investigative reporter who has recently begun podcasting. I was a guest on her "books" podcast. So fun!
