Tanner Colby
A really great look at America after the civil rights movements in the 60s. With anecdotes and plenty of facts.
Tanner Colby looks at Busing in Birmingham, racially driven real estate in Kansas City and affirmative action in the New York advertising world. He ends with a look at the Catholic community in Louisiana and it really is an amazing story. Political, funny, honest, and sometimes incredibly sad, but never boring.

Book Review: Oddly Normal
John Schwartz
When Jeanne Schwartz found her 13 year old son in the bathroom surrounded by pill bottles, her and her husbands' worlds were completely turned upside down. Oddly Normal is the heart-breaking, inspirational story of how Jon and Jeanne Schwartz helped their son come to terms with his sexuality. Filled with statistics that every person, gay or otherwise, should be familiar with. Very interesting!

Book Review: Me Before You
JoJo Moyes
Not a typical romance. Louisa takes a job working for Will–he's grumpy and bossy and she "refuses to treat him with kid gloves."
"...a heartbreakingly romantic story that asks, 'What do you do when making the person you love happy means breaking your own heart?"
A good read! Tear-jerker!
