  The Candle Maker's Secret: A Cozy Mystery of Wax, Wicks, and Wicked Deeds 🕯️🕵️‍♀️ 
  In the small town of Willow Creek, the aromatic workshop of the local candle maker was always a place of warmth and comfort—until its owner is found dead, surrounded by half-finished candles etched with mysterious symbols. Clara, her young apprentice, suddenly finds herself thrust into the heart of a mystery darker than any scented wax. 
  Determined to honor her mentor's memory, Clara uses her unique knowledge of fragrances, wax blends, and hidden symbolism to illuminate the truth. With the help of a charming antique dealer who knows more about the town's secrets than he lets on, she begins to piece together a trail of clues as delicate as candle smoke. 
  But each new discovery reveals that her mentor's death is tied to long-buried secrets that someone in their peaceful town is determined to keep extinguished. Clara soon learns that while some candles reveal truth, others hide it—and the killer is watching her every move, ready to snuff out any light that gets too close to the truth.

  DISCLAIMER: This is NOT the Official Book. This is a Summary & it does NOT Accompany the Official Book. 
  In this era-defining novel that Stephen King heralded as the "Catch-22 of early feminism," we follow Zott from the lab to the kitchen. The book highlights the strikingly unscientific attitude towards gender equality amongst her male colleagues, save for Calvin Evans, a Nobel-prize nominated intellect who becomes smitten with her sharp mind, sparking undeniable chemistry. 
  Life's unpredictability leads Zott from being a single mother to a reluctant star of the beloved cooking show, "Supper at Six." Her unconventional cooking methods quickly become revolutionary, and as her influence expands, she dares women to challenge the status quo. 
  A perfect blend of humor, sharp observations, and a stellar cast of characters, "Lessons in Chemistry" is as captivating and vibrant as its protagonist. It's more than a novel - it's a testament to female empowerment in a time of change.

  Nora Ephron at the Movies - A...

  The first monograph on writer, journalist, and director Nora Ephron, the visionary behind When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, and You’ve Got Mail 
   
  Nora Ephron at the Movies offers an unfiltered look at Ephron as a champion of the rom-com and as a feminist Hollywood trailblazer. It explores her life and work by pairing detailed criticism with exclusive interviews with Ephron’s key collaborators, including Andie MacDowell and Jenn Kaytin Robinson, to add color and nuance to her life and legacy. 
   
  With her singular voice, Nora Ephron flourished as a dominant force in the entertainment industry, focusing on the idiosyncrasies of romance that were universally relatable. 
   
  The women in her stories paralleled reality—the veil was lifted, the glossy sheen removed.  
   
  Her protagonists share an unwavering sense of humor about life’s mishaps, and they never take themselves too seriously—like Julie trying to master the art of cooking lobsters in Julie & Julia, Sally’s theatrical fake orgasm in Katz’s deli in When Harry Met Sally, or Rachel perfecting a key lime pie only to throw it in her cheating husband’s face in Heartburn. 
   
  Through her keenly self-aware humor and semi-autobiographical stories, Ephron left behind a groundbreaking legacy as a beloved journalist, essayist, screenwriter, author, producer, director, and feminist who delivered stories of resilience embedded in sharp wit and upper-crust landscapes. Through that lens, she became emblematic of rom-coms, shifting and redefining conversations around the complexities of relationships and the women who have them.
