#BookReview: Andrea Hoffman Goes All In by Diane Cohen Schneider

Synopsis: Andrea Hoffman is an overeducated, underemployed, and unmotivated recent college graduate--until an unexpected robbery blasts her out of her funk and into a job in the finance world of early-1980s Chicago. At first, it seems like a bad fit. But the world of finance has its own weird charm, and she grows increasingly fascinated by the strange language of trading, the complexity of the stock market, and her colleagues, who navigate it all with a ruthless confidence. Even though she has two strikes against her--Jewish and female--Andrea's quick wit and strong work ethic propel her into an actual sales job and her career takes off. But this is the Wall Street of the eighties, and along with making a lot more money, Andrea adopts a new, fast life of cocktails, cocaine, and casual sex. Drunk on her achievements, she gradually realizes that at some point, she's going to have to decide what success really means to her.

#TBR Reading Challenge: #TakeControlTBR

Ok so I kind of cheated for this.  I just did a massive unhauling so I did not read a ton of stuff.  Of course I still have like 11 or so massive totes full of books so I am not lacking in reading materials. But I did unhaul about 100 books total I think.  

#BookBlitz: Mental Health, Magic Mushrooms, and Pregnancy by Georgina Bailey @RABTBookTours BookBuzznet

 

 

Everything you wanted to know about shrooms, pregnancy & breastfeeding

Nonfiction, Pregnancy, Self-Help

 

There are no published studies on the long term effects of using magic mushrooms during pregnancy, in contrast to the many published studies regarding the impact SSRI’s have on pregnancy.

Mental Health, Magic Mushrooms and Pregnancy tries to bridge that gap by presenting all the  latest science  in a digestible way.

Inside, we look at the  dangers of untreated maternal depression,  examine the importance of serotonin in fetal brain development,  and explore how SSRI’s impact the health of the child.

Instead of 100’s of boring  pages, you’ll find everything you wanted to know (and more) about how psilocybin compares to SSRI’s in the treatment of maternal depression.

This book is for educational purposes only.

Falling For My Hot Neighbor
Rachael Brownell
Publication date: June 9th 2022
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

There’s a professional line in the sand. One I refuse to cross. I can’t afford to if I want to keep my secrets safe. To keep my life from falling apart again.

Those boundaries are tested when he moves in across the hall.

My new neighbor might just be the sexiest man I’ve ever seen. He’s also my patient’s brother which is why he’s off limits. But with him this close, I find it hard to ignore my attraction to him. To deny the spark between us. To avoid the magnetic pull I feel.

Because Alex is everything I’ve ever wanted in a man.

Kind and sweet, with a dirty mind and a touch that lights a fire inside me.

And he loves my son.

Which scares me the most.

It’s not just my heart at risk. The closer Alex gets, the more I fall for him, the more I risk exposing everything I’ve worked so hard to keep hidden.
