Reading Into It

13. Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke

'Man may work from sun to sun, but woman's work is never done,'. Natalie Heller Mills is a subservient and traditional wife, performing a perfectly rustic picture of ranch life in Idaho to her millions of followers. One morning, she awakens in the brutal frontier of 1800's pioneer America and without her usual modern luxuries, there is a very stark contrast between the 'simple living' she once romanticised vs. the reality of living it. Is it a hoax? Has she been kidnapped? Perhaps it's a test from God?

10. Bellies by Nicola Dinan

This was my last book I read in 2025, and one of my absolute favourites. Bellies by Nicola Dinan is a queer, coming of age story about love (platonic and romantic), transition, and the cost of authenticity. I truly hope you enjoy. ⁠Instagram⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/readingintoit.podcast?igsh=Zzk4YnFzcjNtMjd3&utm_source=qr] ⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠ [https://www.tiktok.com/@charlottemichellereads] Cover art photographed by ⁠⁠Olivia Ezechukwu⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/oliviachuk/] For business enquiries: drew@aphroditetheagency.com
