I read 52 books in 2023 and number 47 was the one I keep thinking about
I decided to track my reading last year and hit 52 books, which felt like a lot until I looked at the list and realized most were under 300 pages. The one I can't shake is "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" by Rebecca Skloot, which I picked up at the library in Toledo on a whim because the cover caught my eye. I had no idea her cells are still alive and being used in research today, or that her family didn't find out for decades. Now I want more books like that, where science meets a personal story and it makes you a little angry. Any suggestions? I'm not picky about the topic, just want that same feeling.

What was it about her family not knowing for so long that got to you the most? Like was it the secrecy or just how normal everyone acted while it was happening? I keep thinking I'd want to read more about the people who got caught up in it rather than just the science side.
