Recommend books here for others


Random Spider (on a hiatus?) | 170 comments Bone Talk (by Candy Gourlay)

- I believe this is the best book she has written (so far.) It is a historical fiction about the life of Bontok people in the CORDILLERA region (Philippines) during 1900. It was well researched, immersive, and brought light to a setting nearly absent in literature. Also, it's my favorite book.

message 9: by Terry (new)

Terry “The Court-Martial of George Armstrong Custer” by Douglas Jones (excellent alternate history)

“The Milagro Beanfield War” by John Nichols (This is not about a military campaign. In 1988 Robert Redford directed a wonderful motion picture based on the book.)
