Really nice illustrations. Short, but sweet stories.

A fascinating look at how Europe was peopled. Manco combines DNA, archeology, and language to discover the ways people moved around and settled throughout Western Europe. The only reason it didn't get 4 stars was because the DNA portions were a bit confusing for me.

Twenty years after Ichabod Crane went missing and Sleepy Hollow is once again haunted by mysterious deaths, something is beheading and behanding kids from the village. This book is spooky, sad, and heartwarming, and features a wonderful main character in Ben. Definitely worth your time.

This book really resonated with me. Seidule is a retired Army brigadier general, former head of history at the U.S. Military Academy, and the first professor emeritus of history at West Point. Growing up in Virginia, he idolized Lee and had to learn the hard way about the myth behind the man and the cause he fought for. I, too, grew up thinking Lee wasn't all that bad and that he only fought for the Confederacy because he felt a duty to his state. I figured out the Lee was not the mythical, mostly good guy torn by loyalties by adulthood, but I didn't realize just how pro-slavery he actually was until Seidule put Lee's own words in print. This book is so important and beautifully written by a man who has had to come to terms that his hero was actually a monster. An important book at any time but especially now.

The explosive finale to the Darth Bane trilogy. I really loved everything about this book, with the exception of Darth Zannah's brief apprentice. He didn't add anything and just seemed out of place. Other than that, I loved the dynamic between Bane and Zannah. The Huntress was a great character, and I wish we got more of her. This trilogy is well worth the time to read.
