I've read one of Isabel Ibañez's books before, so I shouldn't have been surprised when this book made me fall in love with Egyptian culture and archeology. The touches of magic seem to be part of Ibañez's signature besides her powerful female characters. I can't wait to continue this series!

Braving the Wilderness: The quest for true belonging and the courage to stand alone by Brené Brown1/23/2024 I've listened to Brené Brown a few times, and this book expanded on what I had heard before. Again, this was an audiobook, but I think that I found it more helpful for this genre. It's hard for me to sit and read an self-help/self-improvement book, but listening while I cleaned or worked in the kitchen was a good balance. It helps of course that her voice is well-suited to audio. Being the teacher looking for strategies, I appreciate the concept of a strong back, soft front, and wild heart which she explains toward the end of the book. Her research stories and interviews are just as informative given you have some time to digest them.
This was my first audiobook because I've never really been a fan. However, this book was super cute and easy to follow, lending itself to the format really well. Zoey follows most of the romantic female lead tropes, but she has a few quirks that really only endear readers to her more.
