The Girls
Who Stepped Out of Line by Mari K. Eder
This book takes you inside the lives and experiences of 15
unknown women heroes from the Greatest Generation, the women who served,
fought, struggled, and made things happen during WWII―in and out of uniform―for
theirs is a legacy destined to embolden generations of women to come.
I didn't
think it was very well-written or engaging.

The Art
of Danish Living: How to Find Happiness In and Out of Work by Meik
Wiking
A guide on getting more out of work and living like the world's
happiest people: the Danish.
Underwhelming
- the presentation is pretty, but it doesn't offer much new information. - HM
4 stars
In Your
Face: A Cartoonist at Work by Doug Marlette
The creator of the nationally syndicated "Kudzu"
comic strip offers a revealing glimpse inside the world of a cartoonist. He
describes the creative process, discusses the art of cartooning, and provides anecdotes
about his own career.
It's one
of the most enjoyable books I've read in a long time. It's full of great
pictures and cartoons. - VC 5 stars
