How To Use This Book List

Many of the books here are written for young adults. However, some are definitely adult books. I don't always specify in my comments; however if you are interested in a book, find it at the library. If it's in Juvenile Fiction or Young Adult Fiction, it's usually safe for kids 12-15 (be sure to preview just in case). If the book is found elsewhere, you can always ask a librarian for their input.
Personally, a few swear words don't do much for me, so I don't usually remember they are in there. Other types of content, however, are usually commented on.
Enjoy!!

p.s. Please leave a "care-to-share" (aka, comment) anytime you like.

Lincoln's Last Days

By Bill O'Reilly

This book club selection sounded interesting. This is the follow-up book to Killing Lincoln.  I have a love of history and wish I had learned more about the Civil War in school.  Anyway, this nonfiction book was written well enough to keep me going even after midnight, often times.  I listened to an audio book and found Edward Hermann to be an excellent narrator.  There was great detail given and many insights I was unaware of.  I have an even greater appreciation for those who fought on either side of that terrible war.  They believed they were fighting for the best interest of our country.
Great book!  Highly recommend for fiction and nonfiction lovers, alike. I will be reading Killing Lincoln next, although I think I may wish I had read it first...?
