Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBIby David GrannThis book is a work of investigative journalism detailing the killings of members of the Osage Tribe in Oklahoma in the 1920s. It is so well done, so shocking, and I couldn’t stop thinking about it for weeks afterwards. It’s in my personal top 5 books I’ve read this year! Submitted by Anna

The Salt Pathby Raynor WinnThis is a touching true story of a couple who lost everything they had, and gained a new perspective on life (to put it far too simplistically). It is hopeful, inspirational, slow-paced, and beautiful, and leaves you with food for thought. Submitted by Anna

Nathan Coulterby Wendell BerryThis is the first of Wendell Berry’s Port William series, and I read it because I’ve heard much praise for some of the other stories that come after it. It is slow-paced and reflective, and though I wasn’t really in the mood for that when I read it, I could see many readers immensely enjoying this as a sweet summer read. Submitted by Anna

Night Came with Many Starsby Simon Van BooyI found this book to be an interesting read. It follows the life of Carol and the friends and family in her life. Carol runs away as a child from an awful home life. The story evolves with various events in the past and how the characters lives intersect along the way. As she proceeds in life her family grows and the past is overcome with security and love. Submitted by Betsy
