Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach
This has been on my TBR since ages! Finally read it and enjoyed it to a great extent, though some of the content was nauseating to me. a very tough read for animal lovers, but otherwise, informative.

The Last Time I Saw Him by Rachel Abbott is a slow burn of a murder mystery that will keep you guessing to the end. a bit too slow and repetitive but a good premise that should have worked better. review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The man who would be Vice President, J.D. Vance wrote many years ago about his childhood in Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis. I'm no fan of the man, but I wanted hear what he had to say. His story is one shared by far too many children today.
My review of HIllbilly ElegyP.S. There is no couch and glove scene. That was a joke made up on Twitter.
