Pretty Instinct by S.E. Hall

Cannon Blackwell just replaced some of my book boyfriends!!!

Seriously Cannon is hot and super sweet. He raises the bar very high for other book boyfriends.

Elizabeth has had a hard life and only trusts a few people but all of that is about to change when Cannon walks onto her bus. Luckily Cannon is there when the band needed him the most. Right off the bat you can tell that him and Elizabeth have a great connection.

Elizabeth has a lot on her shoulders because she takes care of her brother who was in an accident. When Cannon comes into her life he shows her that it is okay to take help and have a little time for herself.

Cannon and Elizabeth have to work through problems but they get their Happy Ever After that everyone wants in life. Pretty Instinct will have you cracking up one moment and needing a cold shower the next. I highly recommend this 5 star book.

Happy Reading

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot

I never read these types of books unless I absolutely have to, this was an exception. I started reading this in the library to pass time since I was finished with my work one day. Suddenly, I got into it, it was listing all of this information about when specific things occurred in history about medicine. As a new student in the medical profession I was absolutely amazed! I think I would have been even if I wasn't going into the medical field. 

HeLa cells changed so much about medicine and scientific research for the greater good, but at the same time, Henrietta Lacks' family paid the price. Back then, it wasn't a crime or an issue to withhold information or not get a consent form signed for use of tissues and such. Now it is. The Lacks' family was treated badly and not included in anything. They are very happy what their mother's cells have done for medicine, they just wish they would have known, been asked, and been included.

This isn't just a story about the HeLa cells and Henrietta Lacks, it is a story about history of medicine, the history of the family, and it is a great one at that.

I have to say that I couldn't put this book down, and since it is a library copy, I will probably buy a copy for myself soon. This is a book of knowledge and ethical dilemmas all around. I felt as if I was right there with Henrietta's family, I cried when Deborah passed. 

This is a 5 star book and I absolutely love it and recommend it!
