Read My Pins: Stories from a Diplomat’s Jewel Box by Madeleine Albright
From New York Times bestselling author and former secretary of state Madeleine Albright, Read My Pins is a story and celebration of how one woman’s jewelry collection was used to make diplomatic history. Exploring the use of the pin or brooch as a means of personal and diplomatic expression and featuring a gallery of fascinating photographs, this unique, intimate, and revealing biography offers a whole new side of Secretary Albright, one of our most beloved public servants. Due to her unfortunate passing, this book is climbing the charts today.

I Thought You Said This Would Work by Ann Garvin
A road trip can drive anyone over the edge – especially two former best friends – in bestselling author Ann Garvin’s funny and poignant novel about broken bonds, messy histories, and the power of forgiveness.
Widowed Samantha Arias hasn’t spoken to Holly Dunfee in forever. It’s for the best. Samantha prefers to avoid conflict. The blisteringly honest Holly craves it. What they still have in common puts them both back on speed dial: a mutual love for Katie, their best friend of twenty-five years, now hospitalized with cancer and needing one little errand from her old college roomies.
It’s simple: travel cross-country together, steal her loathsome ex-husband’s VW camper, find Katie’s diabetic Great Pyrenees at a Utah pound, and drive him back home to Wisconsin. If it’ll make Katie happy, no favor is too big (one hundred pounds), too daunting (two thousand miles), or too illegal (ish), even when a boho D-list celebrity hitches a ride and drives the road trip in fresh directions.
Samantha and Holly are following every new turn – toward second chances, unexpected romance, and self-discovery – and finally blowing the dust off the secret that broke their friendship. On the open road, they’ll try to put it back together – for themselves, and especially for the love of Katie.
I got this book a year ago with my Amazon Prime First Reads and just rediscovered it. I think I’ll add the Whispersync option to it so I can pop back & forth between my Kindle & Audio.
