Perfect Communities by Edward Berenson

Here's my review: Wow! Every once in a while I find a book that just amazes me. This books is FANTASTIC! I love learning new (to me) historical facts. The title intrigued me and reminded me of my favorite movie with Johnny Depp; "Edward Scissorhands." If you're familiar with the movie, every house is a cookie cutter house. They all look the same, the wives are the same, the husbands are the same. This concept is reflected in this book. The author did an excellent job with research as it pertains to this topic. I really enjoyed looking at the pictures that were in the book. I liked being able to visualize the houses. It was surprising to me that Levitt and his towns promoted segregation. The story of Daisy and Bill Myers was heartbreaking. (some parts of their story might be triggering) All in all, I think the author did an excellent job writing this book. Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a complimentary copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/7544612017

Let us March On by Shara Moon

Here's my review: This book was informative and interesting! I love it when authors take a piece of history and create an amazing fictional story. FDR is one of the presidents that I admire and this book showcased his leadership abilities and his dedication to the United States of America. Lizzie is an exceptional woman! She's an advocate, a confidant, and extremely loyal. She stayed with FDR literally until the end. We need more people in the world like Lizzie!

Go See America by Matt Tory

Absolutely splendid! Wow! I love this book so much! Here's my review: This is a fantastic book! It's divided into 7 regions of the USA. I enjoyed reading and learning about every place that was included. Some of them I have been to and the rest are on my bucket list. The pictures are extraordinary! They made me want to hop on a plane and go on an adventure. I hope the author writes more books like these. I won a complimentary copy of the book from LibraryThing.

The Summer of You and Me by Denise Hunter

I don't like giving spoilers because I believe that everyone should read and judge a book for themself. This book is worth the time, believe me! Here's my review: Oh wow! This book is amazing! There are so many twists and turns. I thought I had it figured out and then it turns out that I didn't!! I enjoyed everything about this book. The setting of a picturesque small beach town is perfect! The cast of characters are relatable and easy to like. The little surprises that popped out here and there kept me interested and involved!!
