Good afternoon ladies! As part of earning my Bibliophile badge, I am joining you all in Heather’s Wildflower Book Club. As for the second part to earning, I am issuing a reading challenge that will hopefully be a fun time.
As the America 250 approaches, my challenge is to read a book between now and July 4th that is set during the American Revolution. It can be fiction or non-fiction, any genre or length. Audiobooks also count. Tell us what you read, perhaps a brief summary, and what you thought of it.
I will have small, to be determined, prizes for all who complete the challenge.  |

Okay, I would like to join the challenge. I am looking at 3 books and I will pick 1 of them to read. The first is 1776, The Campaign that Won America, The Story of Yorktown, and the last George Washington and The Secret Six. I will let you know which one I will read.
Thank you Ginny for the Challenge. |
Big Hugs,
Debbie

| As soon as I get through the 3 books I have now I'll see what my library has to offer for the Revolution! |

Fun concept! We can shift the TBR stacks around to make this happen.
Fallon-- Johnny Tremain. If that's too tricky, we've read a couple "Who Was..." biographies on founding fathers and will pick another.
Chris-- My dear Hamilton : a novel of Eliza Schuyler Hamilton

Heather- Awesome! There are so many good options out there, so you are sure to find something! Haha!
Chris- Johnny Tremain is a marvelous choice! I hope it works out, as the story is still one of my favorites even as an adult! I will have to look up My Dear Hamilton, as I've not heard of that one.
