We're one quarter of the way through 2021. Some of us had hoped we'd be experiencing more adventure by now (I know I certainly did!)
As women, we need time of serenity and most often that means curled up with an amazing book. We're celebrating women this month and women authors are no exception. Let this list of books be the motivation for your next armchair escape.
