I remember reading The Killer Angels in 8th grade right before our class trip to Washington DC, where we also visited Gettysburg battle field (that's where the book is set). I also remember LOVING this book, which is kinda weird since it's a war/battle book.
I've read 7 from the list.
Some of the 7 I read were great, some not so great.
No gossiping, huh?
Well, what kind of crazy book club does she belong to?
this list has given me some great ideas of books to look for on my next trip to the library.
