We Were the Lucky Ones
I have had this in my to read pile for awhile, but I had not gotten around to reading it. When I listened to an interview with the author and heard her talk about her family and the research that she did for this book, I knew I had to move it up my TBR list. If you love WWII books this is a must read. This is book is about war, family, and surviving difficult times.
American Fire
American Fire by Monica Hesse is part reporting and part a page turning hard to put down read. It shares a look at a modern day crime in rural America.
Where the Red Fern Grows
A childhood classic that is based in Oklahoma. Where the Red Fern Grows is a fiction book, but it is based on the author’s childhood growing up in the Ozarks of NE Oklahoma. The setting of the book is very much what it would have been like to grow up in that time period in eastern Oklahoma.
Dreamland Burning
Dreamland Burning is a fiction book about a well known part of history in Tulsa, Oklahoma. If you are from Tulsa or NE Oklahoma, you have probably heard of the Tulsa Race Riots. However, if you live in the Tulsa area, you have probably never heard of the Tulsa Race Riots.
RAF
I really enjoyed the book RAF because I have read so little about the RAF but a lot about the American Air Force. This is a story that is not told a lot though because people do not often think of things when they were first created.
