Valiant Women: The Extraordinary American
Servicewomen Who Helped Win World War II by Lena Andrews
is the story of the important and often untold roles American women played in
World War II. From pilots, codebreakers, and chemists to truck drivers,
metalsmiths, and pigeon trainers. Our reader was surprised by many of the
stories and found it very interesting. WJ
Nothing to Envy by Barbara
Demick follows the everyday lives of 6 North Koreans over the span of 15 years.
They live, love, and raise families in a country where everything around them
is scripted and controlled by the government. The struggles of living under a
totalitarian regime was very eye-opening. VC
Dragon Teeth by Michael
Crichton is a historical fiction that has made its rounds through the book club
and has been enjoyed yet again. Set in 1876, the plot follows a college student
who joins a fossil hunting expedition. Wild
West with dinosaurs for the win! MH
