Everything is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection by John Green

An accessible, heartfelt and personal account of a treatable disease that kills about 1.3 million people worldwide annually, which is more than malaria and HIV/AIDS combined. While the subject matter held appeal to me, the author didn’t, until I heard him in tears during a CBC interview.

Thanks to Laura at Mississauga PL for adding her own recommendation.

The Atmosphere: A Love Story by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Set during NASA’s space shuttle program during the 1980s, Reid’s latest will please her legion of fans. With propulsive prose, authentic characters and a high stakes setting, this makes a great summer page turner and love story.
