Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI
by David Grann
Killing of the Cactus Flower (3/29/2018)
I wanted to see what other people said cause we are reading this for our book club group at the public library but I think it's kind of jerky to read and I like books to flow and I don't have to stop and start again. It really isn't a reading for pleasure book.
The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics
by Daniel James Brown
Boys in the Boat (11/30/2013)
Our book club meets at the library and we read Unbroken about a year ago so I wasn't sure about another book if it was the same. I'm glad the club picked it or I would have missed out on another really good book.

I was impressed with not just the historical facts but themore
Child Of My Heart
by Alice McDermott
Child of my Heart (6/30/2008)
It was a little odd for me since it was about sexual abuse. I won't recommend it for a teen. I think the man took advantage of the sitter. Otherwise it was well written and I enjoyed the rest of it but Charming Billy was her best so far.
After This: A Novel

After This by Alice McDermott (6/30/2008)
I was disappointed after reading Charming Billy -I thought this one would be just as good.
