Oh wow! I got a little behind on my spreadsheet and missed the exact moment, but we’re more than halfway through the 99 recommendations of #read99women! So you can look forward to more and more recommendations well into the month of April.

And that brings us to today’s guest, historical fiction powerhouse Stephanie Dray.

Stephanie Dray is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal & USA Today bestselling author of historical women’s fiction. Her award-winning work has been translated into eight languages and tops lists for the most anticipated reads of the year. Now she lives near the nation’s capital with her husband, cats, and history books.

Stephanie’s #read99women pick is AMERICAN PRINCESS by Stephanie Thornton. She says, “In this dishy novel, Thornton skillfully brings to life the incomparable and unapologetic Alice Roosevelt, whose scandalous life was at the center of American politics for nearly a century. Fast-paced and written with verve and sass, this book is a treat and a treasure for history lovers.” Intrigued? You can read the full review on BookBub here.
