Book List

• A few days ago, I asked facebook for book suggestions that are not romances, murder mysteries, comedies, or anything spiritual. I asked for books that were social justice-ish, tied to history, or just a great story. Something in the genre of The Help or Same Kind of Different as Me. I'm in the middle of David Platt's "Radical", and I can only soak in so much spiritual concepts before I am simply reading and not absorbing, thus the non- spiritual request. I received lots of great recommendations that fell within those guidelines, most of which I have never heard of before, so I wanted to share them with you as well as record them for me to look into in the future!
  
  Before I get to the list, though, check out the website for my dear friend Mikelyn's new book, which is coming out very soon!! If it were available yet, it would be my next book of choice, hands down!
