America's First Daughter

Hello Everyone!!! 


As you probably guessed, I have been reading a lot of historical novels recently. And to continue the theme, I present AMERICA"S FIRST DAUGHTER!!!



This one is set during the American Revolution. It is all about Thomas Jefferson's daughter. 
It beautifully depicts the  relationship between the two, their love and the devotion both to each other and to their newly found country,
It spans Patsy's(Thomas Jefferson's daughter and the protagonist) whole life, giving her definition and character. We experience her life experiences and reasons behind all her choices.
Thomas Jefferson is one of our revered founding Fathers and when you look into some of his history there is some scandal attached to his name. This story does a fantastic revealing of the scandal without diminishing his character while also enlightening us to his sacrifice to fight for and create the country we have today.
 In fact, you develop an deeper admiration and respect for both that man himself and the family he left behind.
Be prepared to have your emotions pulled onto a roller-coaster of a ride as you travel through time and culture to be present during this time period,
I love it and do indeed recommend it to all, especially if history is your thing.

P.S. I now have a VLOG on YouTube. Check it out on BookZZZAlert

So I am back! I have taken a little hiatus from reading these last few months. It was not on purpose, it was just that I have started so many different books without the motivation to finish them. But that is over and I am back stronger than ever!!! So the next book I will review is Stephen King! I mean you cannot go wrong with him!

Time Travel! Yes, that's right time travel! Very intriguing fiction revolving around the time period of the assassination of JFK. The protagonist is a high school history teacher who gets the chance to experience a bit of history himself and the decision placed before him on whether or not he should or even could change this catastrophic event in America's history!
I have never actually studied this part in history, so the only things that I knew where the things of common knowledge. I enjoyed experiencing this roller coaster of a ride and couldn't stop until the plot had played out. There is a little bit of everything jammed into this book, romance, history, magic, heroism, morals, villains, you name it. Also, the end seems a little obvious, but NO! It will surprise you! I DID NOT see that one coming!!
Plus, now there is a Hulu Original Series about this book starring James Franco! So, if your into TV adaptations you have got to give this one a try!

What is your favorite genre?
