To Life - A Holocaust Survivor's Journey to Freedom

To Life - A Holocaust Survivor's Journey to Freedom

By Marsha Casper Cook

This book is phenomenal! This tree survived the 911 attack. It's still so amazing that it survived at 30 years old (the tree was only supposed to live 20 years)! The tree is now 50 years old. This books main idea always to right. You would much indeed like this book if you like history since this was a attack 20 years ago.

Titanic

Titanic

By Jim Pipe

This is a wonderful little book! I think it was meant for a younger audience, which I didn't realise when I picked it up, but it's just as interesting for adults. I've read loads about the Titanic and I still learned new things from this book. I liked the way it was laid out. A page or two about the ship, then a page about menus on board or the people who traveled, then the ship again and so on. Made it very easy to read. It gave lists of what was loaded on to the ship for the voyage and this was fascinating, '40 tonnes of potatoes', holy moly!! There are also some nice little sketches interspersed throughout. Very interesting and sad! It's a lovely edition to have on your bookshelves too.

Tale of Two Cities (Laurel & Gold)

Tale of Two Cities (Laurel & Gold)

By Charles Dickens

I'm halfway through the novel right now, & I've got to say, it's amazing! So far, I've heard about how the French Revolution is ongoing, while the story revolves around the following characters - Dr. Manette, a man who has been driven insane due to his immoral imprisonment for 18 years; his daughter, Lucie Manette, a lovely young woman who inspires & gives hope to those around her; Charles Darnay, the virtuous son of venal French aristocrats who is persecuted in both England & France; Madame Defarge, a cruel yet cunning agent who silently weaves a complex web of victims; & Sydney Carton, a failing, alcoholic lawyer who is still able to reveal a love filled with both allure & tragedy. Simply fascinating... :D

By Jim Davis

Garfield is a male orange tabby, who loves to eat. Well, you can guess the next thing. If you eat too much, you get fat! He weighs so much, and still eats! Lasagna, pizza, cookies, you name it! Hilarious, and really fun to read!

125 Animals That Changed the World

125 Animals That Changed the World

By Brenna Maloney

I actually won this book from DOGO, and I read it over and over! There are so many cool stories! My favorite is when someone left a cat in a library drop-box and the librarian took it in as the library’s mascot. (It is on the last page you can turn to, bottom left) I TOTALLY recommend this book!
