July Reading List
Funny thing happened on the way to London—er—Hawaii—no—South Africa. Maybe you shouldn’t ask what stories I’ve been reading during June. The stories keep piling atop each other, making plot differentiation a serious issue.
But for the USA’s 250th birthday, I’m hoping to include some rereads alongside new stories. My editing schedule might not allow for all of these, but here are a few of my “hope to read” stories for this month.
July Reading List #1: Patriot at the River
I’m excited to read book two in Jayna Baas’s “For Liberty and Conscience” series. This novel is set in some of the same areas of North Carolina where my ancestors fought for freedom. Since I haven’t read it yet, I can’t explain the plot, but you can read about it at this Amazon affiliate link. The author has a great way of turning history into a personal story. Let me know what you think about this nod to the USA’s founding in the North Carolina mountains.
July Reading List #2: George Washington’s Secret Six
Spies who saved the Revolution? Amazing tale. The book contains so much information that a reread is essential. I’ve read several novels that hypothesize about the mysterious woman recorded only as Agent 355. This historical non-fiction includes information about the entire spy ring and reveals the texts that lead to discovering the identity behind the most secret individuals who thrust themselves into the emergence of this new country. Interested in the ring who helped found this young nation, check out George Washington’s Secret Six (Amazon affiliate link).
July Reading List #3: George Washington, Spymaster
Yes, another history about the spies of the Revolution. Can you ever get enough spy stories? Well, I can’t. I gravitate to them. This historical compilation includes information about how secret messages were hidden, coded, and decoded. It’s fascinating to see how messages were sent between enemy lines, and this even inspired me to try writing my own secret messages with lemon juice. Have you ever tried something like this? Learn more about these historical spies and their codes in George Washington, Spymaster (Amazon affiliate link).
