In honor of this prompt list being for 2023, and because we have 23 chromosomes, I'm suggesting ""A book involving genetics, genealogy, traits, heredity, or heritage"". So basically, anything to do with either the science of family, or the lived experience of family — nature or nurture.

Some books that might fit here are:

The Genetic Lottery Why DNA Matters for Social Equality by Kathryn Paige Harden

Genealogy by Mae Wood
