Book Club
Some books that I have read, or want to read, this summer.
I just read this book for my book club and it was such an interesting look at men and women who changed the course of American history, but we don't learn about in high school.
The Small and the Mighty: Twelve Unsung Americans Who Changed the Course of History, from the Founding to the Civil Rights Movement
Not your typical summer read, but this book is so interesting and thought-provoking. Highly recommend!
The Midnight Library: A Novel
Sometimes you just need a fun romance book in the summer, and this one was super cute!
When in Rome: A Novel
I picked this book up at the airport this summer, and it had such a unique storyline, I couldn't put it down.
Sounds Like Love
I was looking for a summer read with nothing sad and, so far, this book delivers! A great fantasy read, full of adventure and tongue-in-cheek humor. A new-to-me author that I definitely want to keep reading.
