Thank you everyone, these are great suggestions. Some of them I forgot that I had wanted to read, like Rolling Rabbi.

We actually have a few Churchill books (full disclosure, they belong to dh).

This book was SO CUTE and I smiled the whole way through. It does not paint old time shaddchanim in a positive light, but omg it was cute. I sent it to my MIL who is not frum and loves to read holocaust books, like that's the only thing she reads. And she loved it too.

The synopsis made me LOL, just reserved from the library!

This is considered the best one yet - it's a fantastic read from a very interesting perspective

Last week I got the new Lifelines book and the new yechiel spero book. Both are really good!

Bumping for any more suggestions. Maybe autobiographies? Good non-fiction?

I read 90 seconds (about Eli Beer and United Hatzoloh) and really enjoyed it. Inspirational and a good read with lots of interesting anecdotes.
He is something else.

Is this the Daughter I Raised

Very heavy book, but also very inspiring. Recommend for anyone going through a difficult time or who has had past trauma.

The mermaids chair- ehh

Recently been reading Cathy Glass's books. They are memoirs of her experiences fostering children. Very easy reading. Could be a bit sad or dark because it's kids real experiences of why they were brought into care. Could be a bit suspenseful. Pretty cheap on Amazon.
