Beth says: My interest in Chicago history started with Devil in the White City by Erik Larson and has since gotten out of control. I completely devour any book that has anything to do with Chicago--especially in the 1920's--but this one has proven to be a favorite. Abbott writes history with the prose of a seasoned novelist, creating an unbelievably readable book packed with real information. You'll love the history of the notorious Everleigh Club brothel, and all the famous figures that frequented the place, but most interesting is the business savvy of madams Minnie and Ada Everleigh.

Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days
Published: Amy Einhorn Books/Putnam, 02/01/2009
Beth says: The Help is one of those extraordinary books that will change you, that has the power to transform your view of everything--especially reading. Debut novelist Stockett has written one of the most perfect books I've read in a long time. The Help is the remarkable story of the black women who were servants of rich Southern belles in the 1960's. Every character is richly drawn and feels so real. A truly, TRULY wonderful book.

Beth says: There's something absolutely irresistible about devouring a historical romance on a lazy afternoon, and Julia Quinn is just the author for that. Her "Bridgerton" series is funny, smart, touching and addicting. And since you don't have to read the eight books in the series in any particular order, start with this one. Because you'll like it.

Published: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 04/01/2005

Even history lovers will find little gems of new knowledge in Bryson's book!
