Your Next Read
And Finally
by  Henry Marsh
 
As a retired brain surgeon, Henry Marsh thought he understood illness, but he was unprepared for the impact of his diagnosis of advanced cancer. And Finally explores what happens when someone who has spent a lifetime on the frontline of life and death finds himself contemplating what might be his own death sentence.

As he navigates the bewildering transition from doctor to patient, he is haunted by past failures and projects yet to be completed, and frustrated by the inconveniences of illness and old age. But he is also more entranced than ever by the mysteries of science and the brain, the beauty of the natural world and his love for his family. Elegiac, candid, luminous and poignant, And Finally is ultimately not so much a book about death, but a book about life and what matters in the end.
Spare
by Prince Harry

 
Spare is a book that offers a unique and intimate perspective into the life of Prince Harry, one of the most popular and beloved members of the British royal family. The book is a memoir, in which Prince Harry tells the story of his life up until the tragic death of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales. 
In his book, Prince Harry recounts what he says was a physical attack by his brother, William, now Prince of Wales, as their relationship fell apart over the younger prince’s marriage to the actor Meghan Markle. The book is described as “intimate and heartfelt” by his publisher Penguin Random House. The prince promises that the book will be an “accurate and wholly truthful” account of his life, spanning his childhood and coming-of-age as a royal, his military service, his marriage, and his experiences with fatherhood.
Heart Bones
by Colleen Hoover
 
Life and a dismal last name are the only two things Beyah Grim's parents ever gave her. After carving her path all on her own, Beyah is well on her way to bigger and better things, thanks to no one but herself.

With only two short months separating her from the future she's built and the past she desperately wants to leave behind, an unexpected death leaves Beyah with no place to go during the interim. Forced to reach out to her last resort, Beyah has to spend the remainder of her summer on a peninsula in Texas with a father she barely knows. Beyah's plan is to keep her head down and let the summer slip by seamlessly, but her new neighbor Samson throws a wrench in that plan.
Sink
by Joseph Earl Thomas
 
'Sink' is a wrenching and redemptive coming-of-age memoir about the difficulty of growing up in a hazardous home and the glory of finding salvation in geek culture. A Dewey Diva Pick.
