Monday's Recommendations

Monday Recommendation List

Random list of 10 books Monday! I have read and enjoyed each of these enough to flag for a potential personal library purchase.

Be bold and just choose randomly, stick to your normal genre...or step outside of your normal reading zone and try something you usually wouldn’t. You can look up the descriptions at Amazon.com, or search my blog for old posts by entering the title in the little search box in the top left-hand corner and clicking the magnifying glass.

This week-- 10 recommendations (in no particular order):

1. The Ledge by Jim Davidson and Kevin Vaughn
2. The President’s Club by Nancy Gibbs

Prague Winter

Prague Winter: A Personal Story of Remembrance and War by Madeline Albright

This is a compelling story, told by a remarkable woman. When I began to read, I was expecting a memoir that would touch briefly on World War II. However, Albright delivers a detailed history of the war, told from the perspective of Czechoslovakia. Her family history is woven into that history, which makes it more personal and compelling.

A unique historical perspective, I recommend for any history reader.
