Go Down Together, Orange is the New Black, You’re Never Weird on the Internet, This is your Brain on Parasites, Missing Microbes. Ok so I know most of these are straight non-fiction BUT they’re REALLY good!
The Colour Bar by Susan Williams. It’s the true love story of a white english woman and a black african prince, who later became the first president of Botswana.
My parents didn’t know what it was about when the movie came out. I was about 13 when they took me to see it during Christmas…3 weeks after my dog had died. I. Can’t.
Concussion by Jeanne Marie Laskas. The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. An Invisible Thread by Laura Schroff and Andrew Tresniowski. Really enjoyed these, they include photos.

The King’s Rose. It’s about Henry VIII’s teenage wife. Very sad.
Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina
Anna Karenina is fiction…
True – its so well written that it appears to be non-fiction. Sorry – my mistake!
PHilipa Gregory is an amazing writer of the royal family like Henry the VIII etc.
she puts a lot of facts in her books but then elaborates a little on the main characters. She has tons and tons of books.
Schindler’s list!
