#1 "Blue Moon: A Jack Reacher Novel" by Lee Child

Jack Reacher, an Army-major-turned-private investigator, isn't looking for trouble when he comes to the aid of an elderly couple. Reacher learns the older man and his wife have made a few well-meaning mistakes, and they now owe a lot of money to some very dangerous people. Reacher tries to help, but one brazen move leads to another, and suddenly he finds himself a wanted man in the middle of a turf war between rival Ukrainian and Albanian gangs. In an effort to stay one step ahead of the loan sharks and assassins, he teams up with a waitress who knows more than she's letting on. It seems unlikely, but Reacher's hope is they'll get, "a certain kind of justice ... the kind that comes along once in a blue moon."

#3 "The Great Pretender: The Undercover Mission That Changed Our Understanding of Madness" by Susannah Cahalan

In the 1970s, a Stanford psychologist named David Rosenhan convinced eight healthy people to go undercover into asylums across America to test the legitimacy of psychiatry's labels. Each of these individuals was forced to stay until they'd "proven" themselves sane, and all emerged with alarming diagnoses and disturbing tales of their treatment. This watershed study changed the field of psychiatry, but as journalist Susannah Cahalan's new research shows, very little in this saga is exactly as it seems. In this riveting new book, Cahalan explores what really happened behind those closed asylum doors and how it impacted mental health diagnoses to this day.
