World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War

I've seen this book on best seller lists for years, but ignored it because I don't do zombies. But it isn't about zombies; it is hilarious social criticism. Highly recommended (if you can look past some vulgar language).

Seventh Son by Orson Scott Card

I really enjoyed this.

Savvy by Ingrid Law

Charming and clever.

A Really Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson

I read this out loud to the boys and really, really liked it. Highly recommended.

You Want Women to Vote, Lizzie Stanton? by Jean Fritz

I read this to the boys; interesting and funny.

How I Became a Famous Novelist by Steve Hely

Hilarious. (A little vulgar.)

Triple Town

This is what I have been doing on my Kindle instead of reading lately. Pathetic, I know.

I Shall Not Want by Julia Spencer-Fleming

Decent. I am unreasonably excited about the next one.

The Wright Brothers by Quentin Reynolds

I read this to the boys. The writing style is wooden and dated, but the story is great.

World Made by Hand by James Howard Kunstler

meh.

To Darkness and to Death by Julia Spencer-Fleming

I really enjoyed this.

Slavery By Another Name by Douglas A. Blackmon

I don't think I've ever been as shocked, infuriated, and distressed by any other book.

Out of the Deep I Cry by Julia Spencer-Fleming

This was absolutely superb--if you need a mystery, this is the one. It was even much better than _In the Bleak Midwinter_.
