Over Here: The First World War and American Society by David M. Kennedy

Interesting.

Everybody's Son by Thrity Umrigar

I picked this up because I liked her other books so much, but this was disappointing.

Watch Me Disappear by Janelle Brown

I really enjoyed this. For once, the plot twists were decent.

Last of the Blue and Grey by Richard Serrano

  Very interesting, if somewhat disturbing and also strangely funny.

The Secret History of Wonder Woman by Jill Lepore

I loved this so, so much. (A warning: not for kids.)

The Victorian City by Judith Flanders

Fascinating.

Brain Rules by John Medina

Interesting.

Who Cooked Adam Smith's Dinner? by Katrine Marcal

I loved this so, so, so much. A contender for the all-time favorites list.

Sisters-in-law by Linda Hirshman

I loved this so, so much.

The Great Departure by Tara Zahra

Very interesting.

Detroit by Charlie LeDuff

Fascinating, horrifying, depressing, and vulgar.

God's Hotel by Victoria Sweet

Really, really interesting.

Prince Charles by Sally Bedell Smith

I really enjoyed this.

Lille de Jong by Janet Benton

So in many ways, this was excellent. But I felt that it was marred by several improbably coincidences used to move the plot along.

The Radium Girls by Kate Moore

Fascinating. A great story and interesting slice of history.

Skitter by Ezekiel Boone

I'm embarrassed by how much I liked this: not only is it a spider apocalypse, but it is also clearly a "middle in a trilogy" where the ball barely gets moved down the court. But, yet, I loved it.

Devoured by Sophie Egan

This was largely shallow and derivative, but it had a few interesting moments.

Matriarch by Anne Edwards

I really enjoyed this one. Recommended.

The Women in the Castle by Jessica Shattuck

Decent.

The Breaker Boys by Pat Hughes

Tru and I read this for his book group. The book isn't particularly excellent in terms of writing style, but the history is interesting and well-presented.
