Marching Orders: A Tactical Plan for Converting the World to Christ by Dan McGuire
Non-Fiction: Religion
Fun Fact, on Goodreads this book is labeled as having 0 pages. Also, I don't have the book with me and so can not look up the actual page count, but it was around 150ish.
This book is made mainly for men as a military like guild for evangelization. I would think people with military training would like it. Also, the Bible would fail this author's TV rule.

Atomic Accidents:
Atomic Accidents: A History of Nuclear Meltdowns and Disasters: From the Ozark Mountains to Fukushima by James Mahaffey
Non-fiction: Science, History, E-book
This book tells the story of nuclear energy by highlighting the times that things went wrong. Many of these stories have one thing in common, human error. Sometimes, the error was something stupid, like using a screwdriver to separate nuclear material that would go super critical, if say the screwdriver slipped. Or doing the exact opposite of what the regulations said. Sometimes, it was the one thing that the engineers didn't plan for. Sometimes, it was wanting to react quickly, but not having all the needed information. And sometimes it was just a series of problems that compounded. At least once the issue was that rats ate some cables.
Also, apparently this book is 619 pages. As I read the e-book, I didn't know this until I was done.

The Dialogue of St. Catherine of Siena:
The Dialogue of St. Catherine of Siena by Catherine of Siena
Non-fiction, Religion, Classic, E-book
At first I thought that my e-book copy of the book was just a bad translation and glitchy, then I talked to others that have read this work and found out that it was not an issue of this edition of the book. There are some deep thought and wise words in this book, and there are also times when there is a big long paragraph of writing that is followed by almost the exact same paragraph of writing, but with the last sentence changed. It took me 6 months to read this book, and most of the time that I put it down, it wasn't to ponder something that it said.

The title basically gives away all that the book is about. The author included some information on her life and why she does keto, but mostly it is recipes that can be done in the Instant Pot. Most recipes also how you could do it in a slow cooker as well.
