Looking for some great reads? I received an email today from a friend seeking some fresh book picks for her family. Here's what I sent her:
- The Lost City of the Monkey God (nonfiction, archeology, Central America)
- Where'd You Go, Bernadette (silly, mental health, absurdities of schools, Antarctica)
- The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks (nonfiction, cell science, medical ethics, real people)
- On the easier reading end of the spectrum, A Wolf Called Wander (wolf protagonist, classic story of a journey, based on a real wolf's trek)
- Also for younger reading, Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy (historical fiction set in Maine, whales, discrimination, baseball)
- For John Grisham fans, An Equal Justice by Chad Zunker (legal thriller, helping homeless people in Austin, TX)
- And if you haven't read Tana French's police thriller In the Woods, it's gripping. It's the first in a series set in and around Dublin, Ireland.
