    This one is on my cart on amazon
    Just read Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult adn Waking up White by Debby Irving for two different book clubs I'm in. Both were really good.
    Also recently finished Homecoming by Yas Gyasi which was at times hard emotionally to read but was a great book!

      Currently reading "Conversations with God" by Neal Donald Walsh. Great read so far!

      I am not a big fan of fiction so if anyone has any non fiction recommendations I would love it!

        I think this is the one about the Amish. It's been a long time since I've read it so I'm not sure if there was a nurse in it.

        I really like Jodi Picoults books. Some of my favorites are My Sisters Keeper, Nineteen Minutes, and Vanishing Acts.

        My all-time favorite book is Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. What an incredible story!

          I just finished My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She's Sorry by Fredrick Backman. I found this book while looking in the library for his other one called a Man Named Ove, which I can't wait to read(on waiting list).

          If anyone has read this Grandmother book I would LOVE to get your opinion about it! It started off very strange to me because I'm not much for a fairy tale type book. But it turned into something beautiful, moving(quite tear jerking at times)as life seen through an almost 8 yo little girl's eyes. It was very well written and unique. Made me love a lot of the characters!!

            Another book I'd recommend, read it within the past month, is The Life We Bury by Allen Eskin

              Brit Marie Was Here is another great one by this author! I haven't read My Grandmother yet, but it's on my list.

                Some fav books of mine that I've read recently or am currently reading...

                "Never Split the Difference"
                A book on negotiating as if your life depended on it, as told by the CIA's #1 hostage negotiator.

                "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F@ck"
                It's not a book on being indifferent, but on how we use what to give a f@ck about.

                "Problem is You, Solution is You"
                Very short read, by Swami Dayananda Saraswati.

                "Red Platoon"
                Firsthand account of the thirteen hour firefight at the Battle of Keating by Medal of Honor recipient Clinton Romesha.

                  I am reading In Cold Blood by Truman Capote. I remember hearing about the case when I was a child. I saw this book in the bookstore the other day so I just thought about buying it and giving it a read.
