Book: Pope Joan by Donna Woodfolk Cross<br />

I love reading about women who were bucking "the<br />
system" in medieval times. This is a book that<br />
suggests that missing records in the Catholic<br />
Church point to a female Pope and the cover up<br />
that followed!

Book: The Premonition: A Pandemic Story by<br />
Michael Lewis<br />
Recommended by: Phil<br />
Why do you love it?<br />
Fascinating to be taken behind the scenes of<br />
something we've all just experienced. Though nonfiction<br />
it reads like a novel. It will enlighten you but<br />
also frustrate you and maybe even scare you.<br />
Book: This Is How It Always Is by Laurie Frankel<br />
Recommended by: Eileen<br />
Why do you love it?<br />
The book made me feel like I was part of this family and the<br />
struggle they are going through. It is so easy to hate what<br />
you do not understand. I feel like everyone needs to read<br />
this story just to have a small look inside what it is like for a<br />
child who the world does not understand or want to<br />
accept. I loved each character so much and did not want<br />
this book to end.
