American
Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House
by Jon Meacham
Andrew
Jackson, his intimate circle of friends, and his tumultuous times
are at the center of this noteworthy book about the man who rose
from nothing to create the modern presidency. Loved and hated,
respected and detested, Andrew Jackson was an orphan who fought his
way to the pinnacle of power, bending the nation according to his
idea of democracy. It is a beautifully written biography and
interesting story from start to finish.

Fire
and Ice
by Julie Garwood
If
you liked Julie Garwood's Murder List, this is a must-read for fans
of that book. This story focuses on Sophie Rose, a tough and
determined newspaper reporter, who is the daughter of Bobby Rose, a
suave, charming, and handsome gentleman who also happens to be a
notorious big-time thief sought by every law-enforcement agency in
the country. Strong characters and a strong plotline make this a
highly enjoyable read.
