Spinning Wheel Stories by Louisa May Alcott, 183 pages

I came across this collection of short stories by Louis May Alcott on Project Gutenberg which has out of print books as ebooks. I'm definitely going to have to look for this as a real book to add to my Alcott collection.

When Churchill Slaughtered SHeep and Stalin Robbed A Bank by Giles Milton, 264 pages

A look at little known tidbits of history that are really interesting. This book is exactly up my alley and I really enjoyed it.

Glow of Death by Jane K. Cleland, 292 pages

I like reading about the antiques but Josie's life is so perfect with amazing friends, amazing career and plenty of money, that it gets a little grating at times.

Lumberjanes Volume 5: Band Together, 112 pages

These are odd but really enjoyable. My girl scout camps were never this cool.

The latest book for the Blackthorn Bookclub. Definitely not one I would pick up on my own.
