I feel like these books scratch a particular spot in my brain. I want to find more to compare how they’re portrayed in books vs their actual selves. I feel like they’re probably a list somewhere…but recs please?

-I read the first book of the Shadow Histories duology by H.G. Parry and loved it. It’s such a wide scope, and the narrator for the audiobook has a great voice. I wished the Haitian revolution was a more central plot point, but alas. -“But One Life” by Samantha Wilsoncox was certainly interesting. The author certainly loves foreshadowing. (There’s a scene where a preacher talks about the story of Esther. Making parallels to the story of Hale to her…? Also that it was basically divine duty for him to serve his country). Relatively accurate.
-For the Pride read along, I loved Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert. The conversations in that book were amazing. -There is currently “Hope Never Dies” by Andrew Shaffer sitting on my shelf. I guess Obama and Biden count as historical figures? Famous figures? I guess they count too.

I also found a couple of others. Like this one author writing about Nathaniel Greene (and an upcoming one about Joseph Warren). Also Dwight D Eisenhower?

(I dont know why it’s so US centric today…maybe some less us centric ones?)

Hi Boundlings!!✨️ I'm currently sick, which means I didn't get the best sleep last night. But!! I did have a dream about a book for the first time lmao. It was a cross between Dungeon Crawler Carl x Pikmin (yes the mobile game hAHA). I had to plant flowers to get the entrances to open up more floors 🌸🌼🕳️. I was fighting the monsters and everything in that maze.

I've had dreams abt video games before (cough cough stardew valley) where I play so much it haunts me even unconscious. I wonder if you guys had any bookish dreams you wanna tell the world!!

i’ll go first: “My NEW HOUSE in JAPAN is HAUNTED by a SAMURAI?!?! (SCARY) (DONT WATCH AT 3AM)”

I want to read books by Dr. Seuss. For some reason, I never got around to reading his books. Can y’all suggest me books?
