LOVED this! Very fascinating!
I'm reading mind candy (The Cat Who...), being gentle with myself right now. I do have Saving Monticello: The Levy Family's Epic Quest to Rescue the House that Jefferson Built waiting for me, though.

^^^ Each year a book is chosen for the campus-wide reading project. That was the book from 4-5 years ago. A couple years ago we read The Warmth of Other Suns, which had some crossover elements with the Lacks Family moving to Baltimore to work at the steel mill.
I found this book to be fascinating from a scientific aspect and a sociological aspect. I asked our chapter advisor, who is a cancer researcher, about the book and she emphatically stated that we owe a great debt to Henrietta Lacks, because they really have laid the foundation for many advancements in modern medicine.

Just finished "The Nightingale" by Kristin Hannah. A bit depressing. It's set in France during WWII

Saving Monticello: The Levy Family's Epic Quest to Rescue the House that Jefferson Built by Marc Leepson. It doesn't read like a dry history book and is very interesting.

Just started reading this a couple of days ago as it was the April 2016 selection for the Chi Omega Cleveland West AC book club (I'm a little behind schedule!).  The author, Kristin Hannah, is a Tri Delta.
For the July 2016 Tri Delta Cleveland West Side AC Poseidon's Readers (book club) meetings, we're reading "Daffodils and Fireflies" by Claudia J. Taller. We're so lucky - she lives in the greater Cleveland area, so we were able to arrange for her to lead our discussion!
These reading ladies of Tri Delta and ChiO are fun and very Panhellenic! Three Zeta Tau Alphas and a Kappa Alpha Theta are also involved with both book clubs.

Just finished The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith aka J.K. Rowling. It was for my book club, and my first time reading a crime/mystery type novel.

I really liked that book! It kept me guessing. How did you like it?
