I’m thinking about getting the book released about rumors of Coco Chanel being a spy of some sort .
@Carrie
What is the title of this book? Sounds interesting.
I had to look it up : Sleeping With The Enemy:Coco Chanel’s Secret War by Hal Vaughan
I just went on and ordered it on Amazon you can get it fairly cheap used on Amazon . I’ve been contemplating about buying it for awhile
Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer
@Carolina love the film
I bet it is, I’m going to have to watch it.
Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand.
@Jean loved this film
The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson
What are your interests? Non-fiction covers a broad category of books!
@Sue history like ww1 and ww2
Any specific categories? Themes? Eras?
@Heidi ww1 and ww2
@Sydney you might like Low Level Hell or The Price of Exit, both of which are about Vietnam era.
@Nalria ok thank you
I second all of these titles listed and I’ll add a couple of memoirs: The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls and Educated by Tara Westover
@Angie : both of these are excellent. Also in the same vein: All Over But the Shoutin’ by Rick Bragg. The other 2 books by Jeanette Walls are also as good as The Glass Castle.
@Angie
Loved The Glass Castle!

@Gerri : this one is a must-read!
Anything by Ann Rule (if you like true crime). Revenge of the Nerd: Or the Singular Adventures of a Man Who Would be Booger by Curtis Armstrong.
If you are into social justice, I would recommend There Are No Children Here by Alex Kotlowitz, Evicted by Matthew Desmond, and A False Report by Ken Armstrong, and Random Family by Adrian Nicole LeBlanc
The Greatest Generation by Tom Brokaw.
oh. i’m going to go through these and put some on my TBR list.
@Alesha that’s why I make these posts so other people have some ideas to I don’t just make them for myself I make them so others have ideas to
THank you!
@Alesha your welcome
In the Darkroom by Susan Faludi is amazing – I’m pretty into history, but I learned things about Hungary in WWII that were completely new to me.
Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls
Loved this book and the follow-up ‘Half Broke Horses’
‘Devil in the White City’ by Erik Larson “An irresistible page-turner that reads like the most compelling, sleep-defying fiction” Re: Chicago 1893 Chicago World’s Fair
