Available on Amazon.com *  Amazon.de *  Goodreads Synopsis: Welcome to Battleschool. Growing up is never easy. But try living on the mean streets as a child begging for food and fighting like a dog with ruthless gangs of starving kids who wouldn't hesitate to pound your skull into pulp for a scrap of apple.

This is the story of Nine, The Tale of Kevin Clearwater. Review: Man how does this author write so many great stories about people I would probably never hang out with in real life, but I love reading? People who have been through so much, are so tough and do whatever they need to, but are still amazing people? Oh, I love the world she created here. I loved the prior books in the King series and I loved this addition. It was a bit softer than I was expecting, not that it is all sunshine and roses, it is still dark and gritty but just a bit different than I expected. Nine was not exactly what I expected him to be....

I spent the next decade trying to outrun the devastation of my past, building an empire that would shield me from whatever life could throw at me.

Available on  Amazon.com *  Amazon.de *  Goodreads Synopsis: Ifemelu and Obinze are young and in love when they depart military-ruled Nigeria for the West. Beautiful, self-assured Ifemelu heads for America, where despite her academic success, she is forced to grapple with what it means to be black for the first time. Quiet, thoughtful Obinze had hoped to join her, but with post-9/11 America closed to him, he instead plunges into a dangerous, undocumented life in London. Fifteen years later, they reunite in a newly democratic Nigeria, and reignite their passion—for each other and for their homeland. Review: Americanah was an interesting read. It starts off with the main character, a non-American African, and her take on African American which I found really interesting. It is something I have never thought about before so a lot of it was new to me. For example, the book opens with Ifemelu going to get her hair done and talking about how much effort you have...

Available on Amazon.com *  Amazon.de *  Goodreads Synopsis: Two men, each handsome and unusually adept at his chosen work, embodied an element of the great dynamic that characterized America’s rush toward the twentieth century. The architect was Daniel Hudson Burnham, the fair’s brilliant director of works and the builder of many of the country’s most important structures, including the Flatiron Building in New York and Union Station in Washington, D.C. The murderer was Henry H. Holmes, a young doctor who, in a malign parody of the White City, built his “World’s Fair Hotel” just west of the fairgrounds — a torture palace complete with dissection table, gas chamber, and 3,000-degree crematorium. Burnham overcame tremendous obstacles and tragedies as he organized the talents of Frederick Law Olmsted, Charles McKim, Louis Sullivan, and others to transform swampy Jackson Park into the White City, while Holmes used the attraction of the great fair and his own satanic ...
