I have stacks and stacks of books I brought home from my last trip to Arizona leaving son at his university. I‘m now slowly entering them into my book database. Here are two of the nonfiction books I bought. I swear Arizona is a book lover‘s mecca.

Just couldn‘t force myself to finish the last 17%. This is no doubt likely caused by my own over-saturation over the past 2 years, as opposed to the book or the author. I won‘t be finishing the last book in the series. Genre change time📚

2/5
One of my pet peeve is a misleading title... And this book is the perfect example. It's actually a book about Wright's experience of Texas: it is filled with anecdotes. It's between a memoir, a travelogue, and an opinion piece.
It's a pan to me, because it's a lot of name dropping without a clear structure, or a clear objective. Very disjointed writing.

Loved this story!! What a beautifully written plot! And the characters were so real to me. It was easy to get immersed in the story and invested in the characters. I loved how faith in God played a major role without being preachy or boring. If you enjoy unusual casts and inspirational, historical romance, then definitely give it a try! #beautifulstory #wellwritten #cleanread #inspirational

I‘ve wanted to listen to this for some time, but the reviews said the narrator was difficult to listen to. They just released this new audio version and it‘s a narrator that‘s popular for many audios. I‘m only a few hours in but I can tell it‘s a very different and positive listen. Highly recommend if the former narration made you bail on it.

Forget the Alamo: The True Story of the Myth That Made Texas | Bryan Burrough, Chris Tomlinson, Jason Stanford

This book destroys the myths about the Alamo, to include the people involved and the reasons for the battle. The main reason for the Texas revolt, which included the defense of the Alamo, was slavery. Mexico had banned it, infuriating American settlers.

The second half of the book looks at the strange history of its preservation and cultural context. Fun tidbit, musician Phil Collins is a major player in the site‘s recent history.
