Historical fiction following Abe Lincoln from when he is nominated to President to his assassination. Incorporates a lot of the small and lesser knowne details that I've read in various biographies of the president. 

The audiobook edition is excellent. It's read by the authors and has lots of little bonus nuggets. 

It feels wrong to say the words "funny" and "racism" but here goes: this is a funny, engaging and thought-provoking book about racism. 

If you're white, like me, you may cringe at some of the stories and think that might have been you once when you were younger and dumber and less aware of everything. You may also reflect a bit more on the privileges your life affords you. And you'll also laugh along with the authors, because life is best enjoyed when you can laugh. 

Sometimes it takes both funny books and serious books to make a point. This is one to add to that list. 

A short book, but packs a punch - time travel, futuristic, historical fiction and a touch of the matrix all in a tidy 6 hour audio book. I'll likely need to re read it soon to catch all the things I'm sure I missed. 

A stark, compelling, tragic and captivating story of the opioid crisis. 

Cute romance novel based in England. 

I saw this was going to become a TV series, so wanted to read the book first. I loved it. It grips you from the start, it's got challenging, imperfect characters who are both admirable and frustrating. This has great book seriesppotential, and hopefully they do it justice as a TV series 

Based on the true story of a WWII sniper who had over 300 official kills attributed to her. I enjoy how the author adds her own fictionalized embellishments to the story, but always explains them in the author's note at the end. 

Historical fiction of a young woman who helps Polish and Belarusian Jews survive in the forest after escaping the ghetto. Gripping and action packed and emotional and tragic and hopeful. 

This book had me both on the edge of my seat, and yelling at the main character. Provoking that dual emotion deserves all the stars. A mix of magical realism, Latinx / Southwest culture and murder mystery, this grabs you from the start.
