@OkieSpaceQueen what genres do you enjoy most?

I mostly read nonfiction but I'm trying to branch out.

@OkieSpaceQueen okay. I read a lot of nonfiction, too. I will look when I get home and send you a few rec's. 😃
@OkieSpaceQueen I'm back home and ready to recommend some books which may help you branch out from nonfiction. Narrative nonfiction might appeal to you:
anything by Erik Larson, but particularly DEAD WAKE
A WOMAN OF NO IMPORTANCE, Sonia Purnell
THE WARMTH OF OTHER SUNS, (or CASTE, both are equally great) Isabel Wilkerson
THE IMMORTAL LIFE OF HENRIETTA LACKS, Rebecca Skloot
Fiction I have had good luck introducing to people who usually read nonfiction:
THE TREES, Percival Everett (funny and well-written)
THE OVERSTORY, Richard Powers (incredibly popular)
HAMNET, Maggie O'Farrell (yeah they made a movie, but the book is amazing)
THE ROSE CODE, Kate Quinn
THE NATURE OF FRAGILE THINGS, Susan Meissner

Daughter of Crows by Mark Lawrence. Stayed up until 1:30am Sunday morning to finish it. First in a new fantasy series inspired by the myth of the 3 fates, told from the perspective of an old woman. It's gripping.

Janet@OkieSpaceQueen I enjoyed Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky recently - not particularly new out or anything but a very good read and one of the best plots I have read in a long time.
WTL@OkieSpaceQueen Two most recent recommendations I'd make are Greenteeth by Molly O'Neill (https://www.mollyoneillwrites.com/greenteeth) and Neon Riders by @AEMarling (https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1810011).

@OkieSpaceQueen The Art Thief (Michael Finkel) and The Feather Thief (Kirk Wallace Johnson) are two true crime books but with very different outcomes. I really enjoyed both.
Challenger by Adam Higginbotham was fantastic and quite relevant with all the Artemis excitement.
Snarkle@OkieSpaceQueen I've been enjoying John Marrs's works lately, starting with The One and just finished The Passengers.

Attached: 1 image I finished reading _Run_ by Ann Patchett. This is the kind of novel that's so good I had to step away from it a few times, letting what I'd read so far soak in before going on. It's about the nature and nurture of familes, and and about how little we know about the people we love and how little that matters. It covers 2 snowy days in the life of a former Boston mayor and his 3 sons, when their lives intersect with the mother and daughter of another family. #books
Holly@OkieSpaceQueen Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchett (Discworld series)

Hemlock & Silver by T. Kingfisher, Automatic Noodle by Annalee Newitz, and Cinder House by Freya Marske. Couldn't pick just one.😏

I just finished "Cue for Treason" by Goeffrey Trease, (finished it minutes ago) and it was quite enjoyable.
Subtitle "A Tale of Shakespearian England".
Picked it up from a Little Free Library yesterday afternoon, along with "The Last of the Mohicans" by James Fenimore Cooper. Haven't read that one yet.
@OkieSpaceQueen Slow Birding by Joan Strassman.
@IcooIey
I'll give it a reread. Agree that it's great.

epicdemiologist@OkieSpaceQueen John McPhee, Heirs of General Practice. I wish I could write like him (like I wish I could sing like Ella Fitzgerald!).
Naomi P@epicdemiologist @OkieSpaceQueen
That’s such a good book, and so is everything I ever read by him.
