Lois Cleary is a software programmer who lands herself a dream job with a robotics company and relocates from Michigan to San Francisco. When the owners of her favorite restaurant up and leave the country, Lois is left with the great responsibility of keeping their prized sourdough starter alive. Without a single baking ingredient or appliance in her apartment, Lois embarks on one of the most challenging and exciting adventures of her life.

Book two of my 2017 reading challenge was a screenplay. A quick read. The characters, though not intensively developed, felt authentic. Unlike The Cursed Child (which I wish I could un-read), you can tell this one was written by Rowling. This is her world and her characters. Interested to see how she develops them in books forthcoming. Looking forward to seeing the movie as well. You don't need to be a Potter-head to appreciate this book.

Decided to start a reading challenge for 2017. First up is my non-fiction pick, The Magnolia Story. I love watching Fixer Upper on HGTV and have always been intrigued by Chip and Jo's sweet relationship. This is the story of how they met and how they rose to success both professionally and personally. I could hear their authentic voices in each word I read. I will enjoy the show more now, having learned how they keep they keep the spark alive.
