@Graham Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin. It’s about the Lincoln administration. The Fifties by David Halberstam Partners in Power by Robert Dallak. Its about Nixon and Kissinger. Paris 1919. The authors name escapes me, but its a great read.
@Mickey, the actual title is Scotland, the Story of a Nation . By Magnus Magnuson. It covers the Romans, picts, Viking through 2000. There is a lot of information, but if you are into history, it is well written and a fairly easy follow! I love Scotland and history so it’s a good fit, plus I am going to Scotland for vacation in May and wanted the background info….yep, I’m a nerd!!!
It is best to call it a treatise on what makes good drama. I read it as a writer. It has loads of great tidbits. It’s cut into three sections: The Wind-chill Factor, or On the novel’s beginning; Second Act Problems, or The Difficulty of the Middle of the Novel; and Three Uses of the Knife, or How to end the Novel. I didn’t even underline, like I usually do with quality books, because I know I’ll be reading it again soon.
I am reading two non fiction books. I know I should focus on one at a time, but I just can’t do that. I am reading The Immortal Life of Henreitta Lacks and The Great American Read.
Hold Me Tight by Sue Johnson, Nighttime Parenting by Dr. William Sears, Patience by Allan Lokos, The One Week Budget by Tiffany Aliche, and The Perfect Metabolism Plan by Sara Vance.
