Flee North: A Forgotten Hero and the Fight for Freedom in Slavery's BorderlandFlee North: A Forgotten Hero and the Fight for Freedom in Slavery's Borderland by Scott Shane
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am embarrassed to say that I had never heard of Thomas Smallwood, a Black man who helped hundreds of enslaved people flee north bu after reading his story in Flee North: A Forgotton Hero and the Fight for Freedom in Slavery's Borderland I will nevr forget his story. This is thought provoking and easily read book.

The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of the Whole Stupid World by Matt Kracht My rating: 4 of 5 stars After reading The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of North America by the same author, I had to follow up and read The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of the Whole Stupid World. Same premise. Sprinkled in among the sarcasm and language are some interesting facts about the birds. Certainly not for the easily offended. I read this book with a smile. View all my reviews

One of the Good Guys by Araminta Hall My rating: 3 of 5 stars So many points of view including some that seemed far fetched. I had a hard time connecting to any of the characters. So many important issues brought into the mix. Overall a fairly predictable outcome. View all my reviews

The Last House on the Street by Diane Chamberlain My rating: 5 of 5 stars I was drawn into the story immediately. Loved the dual timelines. This book covers some many topics but ultimately it is a story of love and redemption. View all my reviews
