Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green

hopeful informative reflective sad fast-paced

4.5

I really liked Everything is Tuberculosis but I am a bit biased as I am a big fan of John Green's books. Lol. I liked the pacing and short chapters. I loved how John weaved Henry's story in with the history of tuberculosis and how people in marginalized and poor countries still face the injustice of the disease.

Universality by Natasha Brown
Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.

I fell asleep three times while trying to read it. I couldn’t connect with the characters and honestly the book is a little too smart for me.

Loved the board game tester moments as it was hilarious. Loved how Molly had all the trees and knitted the whole time. She really thrived in this episode. Lol.
