Entangled States: A Life According to Quantum Physics
by Karmela Padavic-Callaghan

(6/10/2026)

The wave-particle duality states that electrons or photons can behave both like particles and waves. Similarly, Padavic-Callaghan's life is defined by duality and multiplicity. They refuse to place themselves into a single category, be it nationality, gender, profession, or other aspects of identity, and instead embrace every side of who they are. The book is well balanced between memoir and science, especially in the beginning. As it progresses, it starts leaning more heavily toward the author

The Blood Countess: Murder, Betrayal, and the Making of a Monster
by Shelley Puhak

(4/22/2026)

From Puhak's approach, it is clear that she refuses to see Bathory as the monster her contemporaries made her out to be and that many still believe she was. Instead, she paints a picture of a kind, highly educated, intelligent, and principled woman who cared for her servants and even attempted to prosecute corrupt officials. In short, a powerful woman who became a threat. Due to the book's approach, a significant portion focuses on the sociopolitical landscape of Hungary at the time. It explores

El Paso: Five Families and One Hundred Years of Blood, Migration, Race, and Memory
by Jazmine Ulloa

(3/25/2026)

Ulloa explains that although El Paso sits at the heart of US immigration debates and has played a crucial role in American history, it is often overlooked in these contexts. Her goal is to place the city at the center of national attention and highlight its importance by exploring how it fits into the intertwined histories of the US and Mexico, and its relationship with major historical events and the lives of people who have settled there or passed through. To achieve the above, she traces more

One Aladdin Two Lamps
by Jeanette Winterson

(2/25/2026)

Winterson's book is structurally interesting. She essentially shares four different stories at the same time, interweaving them: Shahrazad's story, the story Shahrazad tells, her own story of herself growing up, and the story of our world's past and future. In retelling Shahrazad's tales, Winterson uses her own unique voice and style, often including 21st-century slang and references. She then pivots into her reflections on politics, the economy, history, art, life. A small detail from one of th

The Death of Ivan Ilyich

(1/28/2026)

Though the book is short and written in clear and accessible prose, the heaviness of its themes makes it by no means an easy read. It is devastatingly bleak. Tolstoy masterfully portrays death and the physical and mental decline of a man who knows he is about to die. The book's prose is direct, restrained, and deliberately unornamented. This straightforwardness gives the novella its power, reflecting the rigid life of the protagonist while making his emotional unraveling and final acceptance mor

Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection
by John Green

(12/10/2025)

For decades, research into better cures stagnated because it was deemed not cost-effective, and due to the artificially inflated cost of drugs, delivering diagnostic tools and treatments to poorer countries is considered unprofitable. Thus, poorer countries (and sometimes minorities and immigrants within wealthier countries) cannot access newer, safer, and better drugs and must rely on outdated diagnostic tools and medicines that are not as effective, a situation that causes preventable deaths f

For the Sun After Long Nights: The Story of Iran's Women-Led Uprising
by Fatemeh Jamalpour

(10/22/2025)

All in all, this is a gripping and highly engaging book. At times inspiring and uplifting, at others heartbreaking and shocking, it presents details and stories of Iran—its history and its people—often absent from Western media. It does not rely on dry facts and statistics. Instead, it tells the stories of real people, giving us not only their struggles and deaths but also their humanity: their names, their lives, what they loved. Nilo's style as she writes from outside Iran is somet
