Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection by John Green
Death of the Author by Nnedi Okosafor
No Cure For Being Human by Kate Bowler
Everything Happens for a Reason and Other Lies I’ve Loved by Kate Bowler
The Power by Naomi Alderman I’m still thinking aboutthis book weeks afterward and would love to discuss it.
Broken in the Best Possible Way by Jenny Lawson prior to this list I also loved her book Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things
She is laugh out loud funny.
The Wedding People by Alison Espach — uplifting, enjoyable, not as dark as it sounds.
Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty — stupid title but really thought provoking and well-written book. A woman gives airplane passengers predictions about how and when they will die.
The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese
Imperium by robert Harris — historical fiction centered on Marcus Cicero in the later days of the Roman republic.
The Year of Living Constitutionally by A. J. Jacobs
High Conflict by Amanda Ripley — if you ever wondered why we get so worked up and tribal about large and small conflicts.
The Quiet Damage by Jesselyn Cook — fascinating but disturbing portrait of how different kinds of people get involved in Q Anon
Suffering Fools by Ed Gaffney — enjoyable lawyer drama.
The Adults by Alison Espach — really well written, but so depressing.
Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver — Spoiler: I was really disappointed at how the albino was made such an easy and instant villain, especially after the emphasis on the othering of the redneck.
