This is your Brain on Anxiety: What happens and What helps - Faith G. Harper

I do not have anxiety, but many of the people I work with and many of my friends do, so I picked up this short book to better understand their condition and how I can help.  This book is good for that and not too long. It is written in a very personable style for the millennial or the Gen Z individual. Older readers who become easily offended by "bad words" will not be fans.  Foregoing that issue, it is a concise book on cause and correction of anxiety and if, like me, you find yourself surrounded by anxious people, would be a good one to pick up. 

Lady Macbeth - Susan Fraser King

This book was entirely unexpected and not what I initially thought it would be about.  When I picked it up, I thought it was about the fictional Lady Macbeth of Shakespeare's play Macbeth.  I soon realized, no, it was a historical fiction about the actual Lady Macbeth, the one Shakespeare VERY loosely based his play on (as in not at all).  So that being said, it's a great read, a fascinating portrait of a turbulent time.  The author has a PhD in like medieval art history, or something, but she's clearly an excellent historic researcher and has written this book around what has been written down about this time, and I don't mean recent books, I mean annals from the 1500's (already ancient history when documented, but that's all we have left). 
I love books that bring ancient history back to life the way this does! I highly recommend this book for the history lover!
