IN FEBRUARY …

[HISTORY]

All The Books I Can Read is very complimentary of The Book Of Roads & Kingdoms  by Richard Fidler. She writes, ‘This is so comprehensive and impeccably researched and it is also so incredibly readable. There’s no denying that it’s a lot of information – it covers a period of time that’s hundreds of years, changing caliphs, expanding and contracting territory, religion, wars and city developments and abandonments. But I honestly never felt like I was confused or wondering where we were in time or location, even though it did move back and forth occasionally.”

[SCIENCE]

“There’s lots in this book I had learned before, but there were several practical exercises with a unique angle that I loved.” says Shoe’s Seeds and Stories about How to Make a Plant Love You by Summer Rayne Oakes. She, “…recommend(s) you read this book to get a holistic view of adding plants to your indoor space. Recommended also to those who are interested in the health benefits of having plants.”

[SPORT]

Helen’s Book Blog gives Victory, Stand! Raising my Fist for Justice written by Tommie Smith, illustrated by Dawud Anyabwile, and cowritten by Derrick Barnes 5 stars. She writes, “I loved this graphic novel and how it covers both Tommie’s growing up and his famous race/podium statement. The illustrations are great, conveying the emotions of the story. I think this would do really well with YA readers.”

[MEMOIR]

“Where do I begin? Bleak but uplifting, tension-filled and heartwarming.” writes Terrie of Bookshelf Journeys about Solito by Javier Zamora, a memoir of his journey from El Salvador to the USA to join his parents as a child.

---

[CRIME]

“…an interesting read, though, as most of the cases have been explored in the media, it doesn’t offer any particularly unique information. I’d recommend The Real-Life Murder Clubs: Citizens Solving True Crimes by Nicola Stow to readers unfamiliar with, and curious about, the activities of citizen sleuths. True crime junkies aren’t likely to learn anything new.” Learn more at Book’d Out
