Was able to complete all assignments in Week 2.  So far so good!
Books I have enjoyed.

One of those books I have recently read is Killing Lincoln by Bill O'Reilly  Of course, it is easy to understand how a book that is non-fiction would be a learning experience.  Not being a true history buff, particularly about war, I discovered that the language of a non-fiction book can be just as compelling a read as historical fiction which is my genre of choice.  The setting was well-known, but the details were from a different point of view and quite interesting to me.

The second book, one of my favorites, is The Last Chinese Chef. by Nicole Mones  This book, although fiction, had a great deal of learning experience for me as well. Lots of us enjoy Chinese food, but what true Chinese cooking is all about was a revelation to me.  I enjoyed many aspects of this novel which included the setting, China, the tone, a love story of all things, and of course the detail about Chinese cooking including recipes.

Week 1 assignment 2

Never realized , but of course it's very true, how very important a cover is!

Week 1 assignment 1

Missed a few but some were very recognizable.

Week 1 assignment 4

Decide to follow Early Word.   I thought at first it might be about children's book in particular.  However I discovered that there are other kinds,but I would still like to revisit kiddie lit.  I chose Romance Genre and looked at RT Book Reviews.  My reasoning for this genre, believe it or not, is because it is something I do not read, do not really enjoy, but find that a great many customers do.
