Books to Read This Summer
I will admit, I have not heard of many of these books. Part of the reason is that there are a lot of nonfiction books. That is one of my least read genres. I prefer fantasy and fiction novels which makes my reading list one sided. A book that I did read was The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot and I enjoyed it a lot as well as learn new things.
This list focuses more on nonfiction books and that is fine. There are many people that like learning new things as well as reading self-help books. And while this list may not be for me, I’m sure some people will find new books from this list.
