I love a good mystery! The older - the better! There are some humdingers that are hiding within the pages of history, and while we can sniff out a good one while reading a book - there is something about having an amazing book of some of the bigger mysteries of the medieval period.
This book takes you through several of the mysterious happenings of England - was it murder or suicide? Did someone really kill the princes in the tower, or were they spirited away for their protection?
Dive into the Royal Mysteries: Medieval Period, and see what you can discover. There might be a few surprises waiting for you in the pages of this book! Grab your fave beverage and settle down for a night of mysterious happenings, royal deaths, and a whole lot of who dun it, and persons of interest! You will not be disappointed!
I am so very late in reviewing this book - but I could not put this one down!
The tale of two sisters - stuck on the opposite sides of the war. The war between the states tore families apart, and even the president of the United States was not spared this tragedy. For Mary and Emily, it was a tenuous time that they were going to have to learn to navigate - as the country was upended and families were pitted against each other.
Susan Higginbotham never disappoints in her writing. This is one where you are going to need to cancel your plans, settle in, and prepare for book hangovers. Fabulous, engaging, and heartbreaking in areas - this family will work their way into your hearts.
If you enjoy history, then you need to read this book. There are exploits within history that deserve to be told, and this is one of them. These men are heroes, and what they endured should never be forgotten.
Grab this book, and prepare to discover a part of history that is not talked about. This should be shared in classrooms. It is perfect for opening discussions and sharing information on events that we need to discuss.
This book was perfect - great research and information. It is presented in such a way to share information with those who are not versed in history, but perfect for those who know and understand history. It is a win-win.
What a book! If you have not heard of this fighter pilot before, be prepared to sit back and think how amazing it is to have such men (and now women) in our armed forces. As a veteran, I was completely in love with this book - and as a history teacher, I was over the moon. This book is a perfect way to share information and detail different aspects of the war that we often overlook. There is always a last piece to any war, and this was an amazing and inspiring story.

Oh my goodness! I want to actually visit Massachusetts now! After reading these great tails and learning about some spooky trails, I want to get out and find an adventure!
Stephen Gencarella did a great job with this one, and with one search on Goodreads, I found even more by this author that I am wanting to read. If you love a good scary tale and want to learn more about the lore and myths in Massachusetts, this is your book!

This historical fiction was an interesting read. It was a harder read than usual, given the subject matter. While this was a fascinating read, there are aspects that might be hard for some to read, given that this revolves around children.
Living in Germany during the war was not easy for anyone, and the fact that these are told through multiple aspects gives an overview of the tumultuous feelings of the time.
Keep a notebook for notes - it helps to keep track of characters!
Many today to do not know about 9/11 - and this beautiful book does a great job in running down the tragic events, but pulling it together with a heartwarming story.
30,000 stitches tells the story of the flag from 9/11 and the many hours of loving work that went into the repair of the flag. The stories, the lives, and the many people involved all wrap up nicely in this cute little story.
I will be sharing this book with my children's school, so that they can hear this great story as well.

Amazing and delicious - I have not been disappointed with any of the recipes that I have tried yet! I look forward to trying even more!
This book goes further in-depth to the original Odyssey - and really draws into the stories, the myths, and so much more.
You almost need this book to be a spiral-bound book with room for notes as the reader works through the materials.
Highly intellectual, and very thought-provoking! I enjoyed the read entirely!
This book is perfect for the fall lovers! Recipes, fun crafts, and so many “tips and tricks.”
I loved reading through this! I marked so many recipes that I want to use, some fun crafts to do with my kids, and of course, I loved finding ways to make use of items that we normally just throw away!
Highly recommend!
Ancient Egypt has always held a fascination for me, and I have been completely hooked since the 4th grade. It all started with a book on Cleopatra - and grew exponentially from there. Peter Mavrikis brings another love of Egyptian history back to me - the amazing images and scenes from temples, tombs, and more!
While some of the images in the e-copy I had were not great, I could still get the feel - and search online for the image. This was an amazing book - and perfect for those who love Egyptian history! This would make a great table book!!
Get this one - you will not regret it!
If you are a cookie lover, then you are going to have to check out this book!! These recipes are amazing!!
Whatever you are planning on, events, after school snacks, etc. - this is the best cookie recipe collection ever!!
I made a few of these recipes and loved them! I can't wait for the holidays to try even more of these delicious recipes!
The Castles of England have always evoked a sense of wonder - and of course, their local haunts. Everyone loves a good ghost story - but there is much more to these castles than just ghosts.
The English countryside is steeped in history, and the dotting of castles that dominate the landscape have stories and histories.
This book was amazing, and I absolutely loved reading about all the different castles and stories that are associated with them. The information is not overwhelming, and for those who are not familiar with some of the castles, this is a great starting point for those who are wanting to get a deeper understanding of England, their castles, and history.
There are many shipwrecks that we read about in history. This book takes the top 50, and breaks them down - but you get so much more than just a light sketch over the history. The author dives into the background, giving as much information as is available - even talking about a few lesser known shipwrecks that have happened in the same area!
I absolutely loved this book! I enjoyed hearing about the different shipwrecks, the timelines that were given, and the affects that these wrecks had on the times that they happened in.
Read about the Titanic, Carpathia, Bismark, USS Arizona, Empress of Ireland, Edmund Fitzgerald, Mendi, and so many more!
I really struggled with reading this book. I set it down multiple times and came back to it, hoping to get through it. I am not sure if it was the writing style or the real lack of information (new or otherwise) on these ladies that just failed to capture my attention.
We know almost nothing about the first Isabella, but the second is better documented - to a point. John was a larger than life, in your face, can't get around him person - and women were just shadowed due to the norms of the day. While the author did her best to bring some new information to the front - I didn't learn or read anything new that I had not seen already.
Well, this series closed out with a serious bang! I was not expecting this twist, but it made for a great read overall!
As the factions continue warring with each other, the small band is trying to destroy the monster forever. However, pacts made have to be honored, no matter what.
Overall, a good series! Highly enjoyable!
