Amazon Prime Day’s Book Haul


With Amazon’s Prime Day, I took advantage of some great deals to collect some books I have been wanting, but I am very proud of myself because I only bought four books. Three of these books are part of a series, and one I found on Goodreads and wanted to check it out. So below are the books I purchased.

 

Pardonable Lies (A Maisie Dobbs Novel) by Jacqueline Winspear


This is the third Maisie Dobbs Novel by Winspear. In this book, Maisie must help a girl convicted of murder find the graves of two World War I veterans. Readers will discover who the liars are and how War can place seeds of deceit. This is a mystery, so I don’t want to read too much into this.

Messenger of Truth (A Maisie Dobbs Novel) by Jacqueline Winspear


This is the fourth book in the Maisie Dobbs series; in this book, a World War I veteran is found dead, and Maisie must find out who the real killer is. Again, this is a mystery, so that’s all I know.

Amazon Link – https://www.amazon.com/Messenger-of-Truth-audiobook/dp/B000I0RKIM/ref=sr_1_1?crid=TBGH8FFE6E8X&keywords=maisie+dobbs+4&qid=1658266556&sprefix=maisie+dobbs+4%2Caps%2C283&sr=8-1

An Incomplete Revenge (A Maisie Dobbs Novel) by Jacqueline Winspear

This is the fifth book in the Maisie Dobbs series, and fires are breaking out around the village of Heronsdene Maisie must find who is behind these fires. Last mystery in this book haul!

Amazon Link – https://www.amazon.com/An-Incomplete-Revenge-audiobook/dp/B0014EAHH2/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=maisie+dobbs+5+book&qid=1658266673&s=audible&sr=1-1

A Peoples History of the United States by Howard Zinn



This is a historical analysis of America from the perspective of the everyday men and women who served outside the political arena. This book covers the time frame of the first European explorers to the Presidential terms of Clinton. Seeing America through the lenses of the working class and those who were discriminated against will provide a unique perspective.  

Amazon Link – https://www.amazon.com/Peoples-History-United-States-Present/dp/B0030MR076/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3IMWSCGGGVM9Q&keywords=a+peoples+history+of+the+united+states+howard+zinn&qid=1658266784&s=audible&sprefix=A+peoples+%2Caudible%2C428&sr=1-1

Goodreads Link - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2767.A_People_s_History_of_the_United_States?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=d78xbReZxg&rank=1

 

I think I did pretty well in this haul; I can continue the Maisie Dobbs series and read new to me historian’s book.

Tell me what books have graced your shelves because of Amazon Prime Days.

Have a great day,

Savanah

Top Ten Classic Books I Recommend

Today we are stepping away from history for a minute, because I want to talk about some of my favorite classics. I have always had a special spot in my heart for classic reads ever since I can remember, I loved to curl up with a classic on the front porch and read the summer afternoon away. So I thought I would recommend my top ten classics to read in no particular order.   1. Mansfield Park by Jane Austen  This novel is by far my favorite Jane Austen work, so much so that I name my late cat after the main character Fanny Price. This novel is about an impoverished girl who goes to live with her wealthy family and is treated horribly. During this time, Fanny starts to have feelings for one of her cousins, who has treated her well despite the other family members’ treatment of her. I love this book simply because of the romance between the two cousins. This book also tackles some of the social problems of this time very critically which I find quite brave of Austen. I hig...

June Reading Wrap Up

 Since traveling to Europe in June, I could not read as much as I would have liked; but I still completed some great books that I am excited to share with you. I will give a brief description, my rating, and my thoughts about the books I read.  If you want updates on what I am reading, follow me on Goodreads, where I try to keep my shelved books and current reads up to date.  https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/122472933-savanah For June, I was able to read seven books (not too bad, if I say so myself).   The First Book I completed was Reflection by Elizabeth Lim.    This book is one of the Disney twisted retellings that came out in the last few years. I was a little skeptical about this book because I am such a huge Disney fan; however, Lim did not disappoint. In this work, we follow Mulan as she must go to the Underworld to save General Shang's life; she faces many struggles and has help from a few new sidekicks. I highly recommend reading t...

5 Non-Romance Books

  I love to read a cute romance book, but every once in a while, I crave a book that a character does not find their true love or love is not even mentioned in the book. So to celebrate the singles in the world such as myself. Here are my top five non-romance books.   Fawkes by Nadine Brandes   Fawkes is a historical fiction book with a hint of fantasy that follows Guy Fawkes’s son (Thomas) as he tries to find his father to receive the most significant honor the Igniters have their mask. Their mask are essential as whatever color mask is given to the child of an Igniter is the color they can control (so if you have a blue mask, you can control any blue object like water, grey would control things like stone, and so on). However, the people of this time are dealing with a severe plague called the Stone Plague which Thomas has in his eye. Thomas must find his father to get his mask and hopefully pardon himself from the plague he has contracted. But when Thomas meets...
