Hell's Angels the True Story of the 303rd Bomb Group in World War ll

Hell's Angels: The True Story of the 303rd Bomb Group in World War ll By: Jay Stout

I love learning about history ESPECIALLY World War ll. I don't know why it has always fascinated me. This book did not disappoint. I really enjoyed learning about the men who made up the various bomb groups, particularly the 303rd. I learned so much about the war through the eyes of these soldiers. It was fascinating read and very educational. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys history and learning more about the second world war.

The Origins of World War ll

The Origins of World War ll By: Keith Eubank

I found this book at my  universities library and used it for a paper. I really enjoyed this book and found it very fascinating. I have focused so much of my studies of world war 2 on the actual war in progress. I really enjoyed learning about the origins from the end of world war 1 to the start of the second world war. I highly recommend this book to any history buff.

The Girls of Atomic City

The Girls of Atomic City By: Denise Kiernan

This book was AMAZING!!!! The author followed the story of a handful of people from the city of Oak Ridge Tennessee that during world war 2 technically didn't "exist" to the outside world. Everyone had a job to do and they all knew only one thing. Their job would help bring an end to the war. They didnt know the full extent of their jobs or why they needed to do it. But having a good job, a place to live and helping to end the war was a dream come true for these women. They're struggles, joys and more in this wonderful book of secrets, dreams and a bright hope for the future.

Harry Potter Book 7

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows  By: JK Rowling

This is one of my favorites in the series. It frustrates me, has me on the edge of my seat (so to speak) and makes me cry. EVERY TIME!!!
I also see new things too whenever I read not just this book but this series. SO GOOD! Always a fun read to go back to and I always have that "now what do I do" after I finish it.

Harry Potter Book 5

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix By: J.K. Rowling

Another great read. I tend to have a little harder time with this one though because it seems like Harry is so mad throughout the whole book. I can understand why he is so mad, but I always become uneasy when he starts yelling at those closest to him that are trying to help him, like Ron and Hermoine. Then of course there is also.....HER. Dolores Umbridge (Nope, I wont even give her the respect of the title professor. 😋). However as much as this character drives me crazy. I do feel that Rowling is a genius for creating her however. In part because in life everything isnt always clear cut black and white, good and bad or good vs evil. There are people out there who are mean, nasty, racist, etc. simply for the fact of they want to be or that's just who they are. So Dolores Umbridge is the perfect character to exhibit that there can be people in the world that stand for neither good or bad, but simply look out for themselves and do what they want.


"Dark times have come to Hogwarts. After the Dementors' attack on his cousin Dudley, Harry Potter knows that Voldemort will stop at nothing to find him. There are many who deny the Dark Lord's return, but Harry is not alone: a secret order gathers at Grimmauld Place to fight against the dark forces. Harry must allow Professor Snape to teach him how to protect himself from Voldemort's savage assaults on his mind. But they are growing stronger by the day and Harry is running out of time...."

Harry Potter Book 4

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire By: J.K. Rowling

There are so many little details that I had forgotten about in this book. It was really fun to rediscover them again. It's also funny to speculate on the what if's and what could have been's. As always this is a delightful series that I always enjoy reading and re-reading many many MANY times. :p
