I managed to strike a balance between busy schedules like the North Carolina and Vegas work trips and indulging in captivating books, which truly helped me recharge.
Each book I read brought something unique to the table. For instance, "The Boyfriend" and "The Surrogate" by Freida McFadden captivated me with their suspenseful storytelling and complex characters.
