NaNo Day 3
1:00 AM
I have been doing a lot of reading to get ready for NaNo.
Today, I thought I would share some of the books that helped me the most.
Reporting the Revolution: This book was a gift from my dad
and it has been a favorite ever since. This book has photocopies of newspapers
from the time of the revolution. Not only do I get to see what was said, but
can also tell a lot of the feelings of the people who wrote it.
Rebels and Redcoats: This book is filled with firsthand
accounts of different events in the American Revolution. As anyone who knows and understands me, I love to get firsthand accounts. This book is well arranged with many
great perspectives on events.
Dear Abigail: This is by far the best book I have ever read
about Abigail Adams. The author did a great job at not putting too much of her
own ideas into the telling of Abigail’s life. I really loved how many letters she quoted and how strong the research was for this book.
John Adams: After reading 1776, I knew that David McCullough
was a great historian. As John and Abigail were going to figure largely into
this book, it seemed natural for me to read this book.
The Siege of Boston: I mentioned this one was really helpful
for my last book. As the siege is still going on at the beginning of A
Different Kind of Purpose, I will be using this book again for reference.
