@OkieSpaceQueen what genres do you enjoy most?
@kimlockhartga
I mostly read nonfiction but I'm trying to branch out.

@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
