The Personal Librarian by Marie Benedict ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 

If you’re a fan of historical fiction, I highly suggest this book and really anything by Marie Benedict! Written as fiction, there is still accurate historical information woven into the story. 

This is a story of Belle da Costa Greene, a female who during the early 1900s was hired to be the personal librarian of J.P Morgan. You’ll follow along as she blossoms into a powerful woman working in a time where woman weren’t allowed to possess much power. And, she was passing as white. There’s business, pleasure, a little bit of love, and some surprises along the way. 

To me, there is just something really special when it comes to reading stories about powerful women who push the limits and break barriers. This story is one of them!
