Just Mercy was incredibly eye-opening for me, Born a Crime, When Breath Becomes Air, The Boys in the Boat, Educated, Hillbilly Elegy, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
Born a Crime (Trevor Noah), The Boys in the Boat (Daniel Brown), Missoula (Jon Krakauer), The Sunflower (Simon Wiesenthal), The Nazi Officer’s Wife (Edith Beer)
Another nonfiction book titled Slavery By Another Name by Douglas A Blackmom….such a good book about how much the Blacks had to over come after the Civil War…
Here’s a few I really liked: Endurance (by Worsley). Beyond the Call (by Trimble & Dronfield). Dear Leader (by Jin-sung). The Wright Brothers (by McCullough).
Anything by Cathy Glass. They’re not for everyone as some are quite disturbing, but what she does is amazing and to read how she helps those kids is heartwarming. X

@Candice I loved both of them.
Just starting “The trial of Lizzie Borden”. A case that has always intrigued me.
How is it so far? I’m curious on others thoughts since I’m interested in this book as well.
I’ve just gotten up to the immediate aftermath of the murder. I like it because it’s completely fact based so far and has photos of people involved.
Cool, I might have to get this to check out then.
