Definitely for a history buff – which is not me. Read Review Below Rating: ★★ Alright, I may have to remove other books written by Presidents/ex-Presidents off my To-Read list – this genre just isn’t for me. What I Disliked: 1. About 75% of the book was about politics – and I hate politics. You’re

Finally, a twist with time travel. Read Review Below Rating: ★★★ My Mother bought me this book for Christmas. I had never heard of it before, and it took awhile for me to pick it up to read. Eventually I got there and was very surprised when I realized the story involved time travel. Without
