I wish I enjoyed this genre more. There are several titles that look interesting to me, but typically when I read them I don't enjoy them. I may try a couple again next year when things slow down after the holidays.

I typically do not read this genre much either.
I am interested in First Women: The Grace and Power of America's Modern First Ladies. That does sounds interesting and I like the cover. :)
