THE MAN WHO SAVED THE UNION: ULYSSES GRANT, by H.W. Brands
One of my favorite historians tells the story in grand style and with clarity. A truly wonderful read — five stars!
— B. Dito
HANDWRITTEN RECIPES, by Michael Popek
I love cookbooks. That this book was compiled via the author finding old recipe cards and notes tucked in between the pages of discarded books just tickles the heck out of me. Will I make the peanut butter cereal muffin recipe found inside The Mayor of Casterbridge, the sour cream coffee cake discovered inside Less Than Zero, or the noodle pudding recipe lurking inside a copy of Barbara Cartland’s The Wild Unwilling Wife? I might, but as any cookbook lover knows, sometimes it’s just as satisfying to settle into a comfy chair with a pot of tea and read.

THIS IS NOT MY HAT, by Jon Klassen
A little fish has pulled off the perfect crime. He stole a hat from a much bigger fish and there’s no way he can get caught, right? Rrright. This is hilarious fun for everyone, with gorgeous illustrations.

SERAPHINA, by Rachel Hartman
Brilliant storytelling, a fresh and winning voice, and a wholly original approach to the dragon myth.
