John Green, the #1 bestselling author of The Anthropocene Reviewed and a passionate advocate for global healthcare reform, tells a deeply human story illuminating the fight against the world’s deadliest infectious disease. Signed edition“The real magic of Green’s writing is the deeply considerate, human touch that goes into every word.” –The Associated Press“This highly readable call to action could not be more timely.” –Kirkus, starred reviewTuberculosis has been entwined with humanity for millennia. Once romanticized as a malady of poets, today tuberculosis is seen as a disease of poverty that walks the trails of injustice and inequity we blazed for it.In 2019, author John Green met Henry Reider, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone. John became fast friends with Henry, a boy with spindly legs and a big, goofy smile. In the years since that first visit to Lakka, Green has become a vocal advocate for increased access to treatment and wider awareness of the healthcare inequities that allow this curable, preventable infectious disease to also be the deadliest, killing over a million people every year.In Everything Is Tuberculosis, John tells Henry’s story, woven through with the scientific and social histories of how tuberculosis has shaped our world—and how our choices will shape the future of tuberculosis.

\ \ Week 7: 9th-15th of February\ \ Happy Sunday! I am currently sitting on the couch while season 2 of “Nobody wants this” is playing in the background.\ \ \ \ I’m at the episode where everyone is wearing Halloween costumes. I think it’s a good show, but considering the fact that I’m barley watching it, I don’t know if I can actually say that.. Have you seen “Nobody wants this”?\ \ This week has been the Week of non-fiction Books!\ \ I usually don’t read a lot of non-fictions. Why?\ \ Weeeeeeeeelllll... I think I mainly avoided it because I struggled to get through them... but those thoughts are in the past and I am genuinely telling you now, that I love Non-fiction! I love the feeling I get when reading it!\ \ Let’s get to what I read this week! :)\ \ I completed a memoir by Maya Angelou called "A song flung up to heaven".\ \ \ \ This book is the sixth instalment of her memoir series. Her way of writing is like reading a diary! It was so poetic and personal!\ \ Because this is the sixth book and was set during the time before she started writing her most popular memoir "i know why the cage bird sing", I left this book wanting to read that book! I am fascinated by her, and I want more!\ \ Next is my still current read which is "Everything is tuberculosis" by John Green. Now this book is a lot more factual, which is the non-ficton I'm not used to reading, but John Green has a great and casual way to writing it.\ \ I TRULY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS DISEASE! The way this disease and frankly all diseases show, how health care systems are prioritised for those with more money. And dont even get me started on the rascism behind it all... \ \ \ \ But also, I didnt know that TB has litrilly been behind beauty standards thats still excist today and it was been behind the founding of cities in the US!\ \ I’m learning so much! and its opening my eyes\ \ However... I think I should be reading this in shorter reading sessions, because when I read this book for an hour straight, the information gets clouded in my head.\ \ OOooofff!!! There is drama going on in the tv- show right now and its distracting me. So I think ill end this blog here.\ \ If you got this far, thank you for reading and I'll see you next week! :)\ \ Stay Amazing! XOXO\ \ Join for free or login](https://littrillyliterature.binderybooks.com/item/aE85803IHSGYxTVX9NJm/)

[Poll:\ \ Are any of these on your TBR?\ \ Hi nerds,\ \ Last night we held our second installment of the Sunny's Salon—a monthly addition to our event programming that is like a book club with no assigned reading. We kicked off the night by doing a 15 minute reading sprint with some lofi music playing in the background and then went into a larger discussion centered around or Last, Now, and Next. It was so fun hearing about what people were reading or had on their radar (weirdly three people wanted to read Lapvona by Ottessa Moshfegh next) and seeing where reading taste overlapped and differed. Below you will find 50 (!) book recommendations gathered from the Yuma community.\ \ \ \

Not So Well Read\ \ Courtney\ \ • Mar 23 2025

[This week in the book world: \ \ This week was all about Sunrise on the Reaping! It's been so fun seeing everyone diving back into the world of my all-time-favorite series. I'm only about 1/3 of the way through, but I know from everyone's stories that this is going to emotionally destroy me. I am ready. \ \ I had my own personal drama with this title–specifically a certain publisher not having us sign the needed embargo paperwork, which delayed our shipment by 3 days–but overall this release seemed to go a lot more smoothly than THAT one in January. I will say, I am forever jealous of the folks who got to attend the Waterstones Midnight Release. That looked AMAZING and even my indie-loving heart isn't afraid to admit it.\ \ This Week's Publishing News: \ \
- Sarah Beth Durst announced a new teen book this week! It's called The Faraway Inn about a teen girl who goes to work at her aunt's secretly-magical B&B after a breakup.\ \
- New horror novel called The House Where Nothing Hurts, "pitched as Bunny meets Marlena and for fans of Yellowjackets, about a high school volleyball team that discovers a haunted house where none of their actions seem to have lasting physical consequences"\ \
- Lindsay King-Miller, author of The Z Word, is teaming up with Rachel Feder for a dystopian retelling of The Picture of Dorian Gray called Dorian/Gray, pitched as a retelling of The Picture of Dorian Gray "where the rich are assigned poor scapegoats who experience all the negative consequences of their actions through quantum entanglement"\ \ \ This Week's New Releases: \ \ Much slower week than last week, but still some good ones:\ \
- Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones\ \
- Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins\ \
- Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green\ \
- The Hymn to Dionysus by Natasha Pulley\ \
- The Haunting of Room 904 by Erika T. Wurth\ \
- The Prince Without Sorrow (Obsidian Throne, #1) by Maithree Wijesekara\ \
- The Third Rule of Time Travel by Philip Fracassi\ \ \ What I Read This Week: \ \ Oathbound (Finished)\ \ UGGGHHH!!! When's the next one???? I just want my babies to be happy together, okay? Also, in other news, I saw in publisher's weekly that Legendborn sold only 2000 copies in its first week, but Oathbound sold 20k+ in its first week and I'm just so happy!!\ \ Soulgazer (Finished)\ \ This book captured my entire heart in a matter of pages. Not only is it an incredible pirate fantasy, it's got an incredibly tender romance that will be beloved by both historical and fantasy romance readers. I cannot wait for the next novel and will be thinking of Faolan and Saoirse nearly every day until then. 10/10, perfect romantasy. Y'all make sure to preorder this one and show author Maggie some love.\ \ Kill Creatures (Finished)\ \ Kill Creatures is the exact reason why I love teen thrillers. Impossible-to-put-down from the very first page with a twist that will leave readers of all ages reeling, Kill Creatures is the a sun-soaked-fever-dream thriller that's perfect for summer reading. This one comes out 6/3/25!\ \ Blood Over Bright Haven (50%)\ \ I am loving this book, which is very likely due to the incredible audiobook narrator. We called the twist pretty early on, but that hasn't kept me from enjoying it. I need to finish this one tonight before book club tomorrow, so I'll keep y'all updated on my progress.\ \ Dance of Lies (28%)\ \ Ooooh, I can tell that this one is going to be a slow burn and I am buckled in and ready.\ \ What I bought/shelved: \ \ Bought:\ \
- Till Death by Kellan McDaniel\ \
- Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins\ \
- I Am the Swarm by Hayley Chewins\ \ \ Shelved:\ \
- Between Ink and Shadows by Melissa Wright\ \ \ Other Musings: \ \ Don't forget the Trans Rights Read-a-thon is happening now till 3/31! I am hoping to read The Duke Steals Hearts & Other Body Parts and Till Death during this time!! I also wrote a little blog post with some of ours booksellers' favorite books by trans and nonbinary authors. You can read that here if you want some book ideas!](https://notsowellread.binderybooks.com/item/cFjgpkWvt5TAMAGZc5fa/)
