Beat the Reaper

   By  Josh Bazell

If you like a book like an old sweater, all warm, fuzzy and comforting, stay far, far away from this one! On the other hand, if you don’t know the meaning of the word squeamish, if you prefer your dog book dripping rabid foam, your pride & prejudice with a side of zombies, your girl with a dragon tattoo … then this one is for you.  Be prepared for a story that will smack you upside the head, grab you with sharp teeth and shake you until you’re dizzy.    -  Christine

Killing Lincoln

   By  Bill O’Reilly & Martin Dugard

The author provided me with a front row seat to a time in history - from the defeat of the Confederate army; the riotous victory celebrations in Washington, D.C.; the careful planning of John Wilkes Booth and his vengeful co-conspirators; the shocking assassination of president Abraham Lincoln; the frantic manhunt that followed – I highly recommend this book to everyone as a must read and promise you will share this book with your friends!  -  Elaine
