The Elegance of the Hedgehog - Muriel Barbery

This story is set in Paris but could have been set anywhere in the world and it would still resonate. The truth of the characters makes it an engrossing read.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks - Rebecca Skloot

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is an interesting and informative read. I never knew about HeLa cells, where they originated and how they were obtained. Read this book if you are interested in history and are looking for a book that tells a story as well as makes you think.
