Red Rising by Pierce Brown. This is the favorite book of a colleague; so, I had to read it. It's a sort of Hunger Games meets Percy Jackson, but he swears it's just the first that's like this. It was a fun read, and he says they get better as you go with more space opera. I read this on my Kindle. The Amazon link is to the paperback, and the book is also discoverable in Libby.
Sam Houston and The Alamo Avengers: The Texas Victory That Changed American History by Brian Kilmeade. We listened to this 7-hour audiobook on a road trip to see the Grand Canyon, and found it to be an exciting tale of how the founding fathers of the Republic of Texas fought for independence. The Amazon link is to the paperback, and the book is also discoverable in Libby.
