I just finished Wilderness Warrior about Theodore Roosevelt and his conservation efforts. I read it in anticipation of my visit to the Roosevelt presidential library in Medora, ND. The book was a bit of a slog due to all the detail, but worth the read. I agree that your nonfiction recommendations are great. I’ve never been disappointed by one of your recommendations.
Thanks Paula! I'm jealous of your visit to Medora — the new library is high on my list. I've not read Wilderness Warrior, but it's been on my list a long time.
I finished reading "American Scoundrel: Roy Cohn's Dark Journey from Joe McCarthy to Donald Trump" last week. The title says it all. I recommend.
I am currently reading "Bad Actors" by Mick Herron, one of the later Slow Horses novels. And, since I am nearly finished with that one, I have started on "All That's Unseen: An Appalachian Memoir" by Emilee Hackney.
Cohn must be the most unethical, immoral people I have read about or met. I still liked the book and glad I read it. It does give me some insight into some of our current president's actions (right out of the Cohn playbook).
I've been hooked on Slow Horses series since I first read them. Slowly getting through them.
I always enjoy your reviews. Interesting that i also just read a book called End of Days by Mark Gimenez which was a take off of the events in Waco Texas. It was done with the author since of humor yet he got his political points across very well.
I always enjoy your reviews and appreciate that you put a lot of nonfiction on my radar I wouldn't have heard of otherwise!
Thanks Lauren! Glad to have you as a reader.

I'm nervous to read American Scoundrel — I worry it'll just make me mad haha. I still haven't read Slow Horses, but I will someday.

Oh interesting, thanks Kathy! Glad to have you as a reader.
Love your reviews. Glad to see this is where your heart is. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Matthew! And ditto!
Just finished Warriors of God by Reston.The Fourth Crusade. Thought it well written and very well researched.
Never was medevilest until I started reading about the Black Plague last year. This got me hooked on the Middle Ages.
Looking forward to your next column. h.white
I've not heard of that one — thanks for the rec!
