The Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand is one of the best books I have ever read. If you want to read it, try to do so before the movie comes out. It's a true story and beautifully written and researched

I have really enjoyed the Armand Gamache series by Louise Penny. Best series I've come across in a long, long time. It's set in Quebec and follows the Chief Inspector of the Surete as well as the people in a small village called Three Pines.

I've been hooked on J. A. Jance books lately. Mostly the Joanna Brady series, but Jance has other series. Mysteries. My favorite mysteries of all time are Tony Hillerman's books. He writes mysteries set in Arizona. The main characters are with the Reservation police.

Follow the River by James Alexander Thom. It's an older book but very good. another is Sacajawea by Anna Lee Waldo. I have read both books more than once.

I was most impressed by "Unbroken" and it is a biography....I believe a movie has also been made, but I prefer books.....less license taken. I saw the subject interviewed on TV shortly before he died. A VERY good book for men or women!!!

OK, here is where I shamelessly plug my daughter's book. Please forgive, but she can't afford advertising. It probably isn't for a man, but the title is "Chasing the Crown," by Kail Harbick, purchase at amazon.com
It isn't in ebook form yet. It is a serious look into the Pageant world, behind the scenes. Very clean read, good for teens through my dear mother's age of 91. Makes a nice Christmas gift. The author, my daughter, was a pageant director for married women. (Throughout the book a person will see what all it takes to enter a pageant, and lots of tips and helps along the way, written into the story.) I think any lady would find it an enjoyable read. |
That would be a nice gift for my DH. He likes history books about WWII. Anything with airplanes of WWII. I like romance. Robyn Carr is a favorite.
