I finally got out of my 2 book slump!  Whew!  July was a crazy month for me so I am very proud that I completed these 4.  I am so ready for life to resemble some kind of normalcy.  I need a vacation so bad it’s not even funny anymore.  Our planned trip this year has been cancelled and rescheduled 3x so far.  Which I completely understand, and I want to be safe, but it is just torturous.  You get your hopes up and then… Just kidding!  Now we are looking at November. 
I am 7 books behind schedule on my year goal 😫 however 2020 is not like a normal year that’s for sure.  I certainly don’t want to rely on my vacation to catch up, just in case, so we might need to schedule a little weekend getaway to unplug and relax.

Book 20:  Maryland

I love that Dan Brown has brillant woman cryptographers as his characters!  It’s so awesome to see a male author put women in powerful positions that are male dominate roles.  Cyber books always bring out the geek in me.

“When the NSA’s invincible code-breaking machine encounters a mysterious code it cannot break, the agency calls its head cryptographer, Susan Fletcher, a brilliant and beautiful mathematician. What she uncovers sends shock waves through the corridors of power. The NSA is being held hostage … not by guns or bombs, but by a code so ingeniously complex that if released it would cripple U.S. intelligence. Caught in an accelerating tempest of secrecy and lies, Susan Fletcher battles to save the agency she believes in. Betrayed on all sides, she finds herself fighting not only for her country but also for her life, and in the end, for the life of the man she loves.”
