All That Remains by Sue Black is a fascinating and surprisingly heartfelt look at the work of forensic anthropology. She balances real case experiences with personal reflections, making the science feel accessible and deeply human.

Outlaw Blood by Noah J. Matthews is a creative mix of fantasy & Western storytelling that offers a fresh take on the outlaw journey. The novel follows Clye Galler, a man haunted by his past who is searching for redemption in a harsh desert world shaped by danger, magic, and moral conflict.

I would agree. I really liked it. Book follows the series pretty well
Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln’s Killer by James L. Swanson* is a really engaging, fast-paced look at the hunt for John Wilkes Booth after President Abraham Lincoln’s assassination.
Full review coming soon.

I tried something different with this book. At then end of each chapter I tried to summarize the chapter in a few bullet points, but also added a few questions that I still had and areas of further reading and research.
Do you annotate? How do you do it?

Just finished a buddy read with my daughter. This was a great historical fiction book based on the real Hitler Youth camp called Camp Nordland in Newark New Jersey.
Agreat historical fiction book to learn more about just how prevalent antisemitism was leading up to WW2 in America.

Just finished…this was just a heartbreaking investigation.
#booksky #histbookchat
Imagine getting a front row seat to one of the most dangerous political transformations in modern history. Not after it happened, but while it was unfolding day by day.
If you have read this book , and have some impressions on it, let me in the comments.

I just finished this book, and it was great. This was an interesting take on the first year or so of the Nazi take over of Germany. The tension throughout this book tights as the months move forward.
I will have a full review up soon. Have you read In the Garden of Beasts?
#histbookchat
I can’t put this book down. I really enjoy the magnification of a small time line which this book does. But I also enjoy the first hand accounts of the beginnings of the Nazi takeover of Germany.
What are you reading today?

Tragically, the brutal legacy of Leopold II continues to this day.

Absolutely agree. Thanks for the video as well.
I have been thinking a lot about the difference between investigative journalism and narrative journalism.
Do you like investigative Journalism or narrative journalism? Do you have book recs for these?

My current read for the day is a book that I have been excited to read for awhile. I am a big fan of Buddy Levy. Realm of Ice and Sky is supposed to be a great narrative history thriller.
I am enjoying this with an iced Shaken espresso.
What are you reading today? #histbookchat
I had a great reading experience in February. I have deliberately slowed down reading to spend more time in the books I am reading. I am learning and retaining so much more.
How did your reading experience go in February?
