15.  The Invisible History of the Human Race: How DNA and History Shape Our Identities and Our Futures, by Christine Kenneally

This book is pretty heavy reading.  Not that it is difficult reading, depending on one's background, but it covers deep and often somber topics.  Some people throughout history have been horrible to others, can you face thinking about that?  If you can't, better not read this. I thought this book was good to read, though. Will it do more harm or more good to know as much as we do about our ancestry?  I like my ancestry hobby.  I hope no one uses what I have shared in an evil way.  I think what I have looked up is out there, anyway.  Published in 2014, already one could add quite a bit to some of the discussion points in this book, but it is not out of date quite yet.

16.  The Guest List, by Lucy Foley

It's a thriller murder mystery for the one book club.  It is okay if you like that sort of thing and aren't looking for anything more thought provoking than who done it. It doesn't take long to read. One woman has an interesting name.  That might have been the only thing I looked up.  I can picture the anger of all those who might have done it, that fierce family love thing especially.

17.  The Four-Day Win, by Martha Beck

I like Martha Beck's writings; she is clever and funny.  This is a self-help about weight loss.  She has some really good ideas about the mental challenges of it. The point is to do some activities four days at a time.  

18. Angle of Repose, by Wallace Stegner

This is depressing. I would have liked it better if it had been a biography. I'm losing what interest I may have had for historical fiction.
