ROAR IV

It is amazing to consider a 4th Term book, but here we go!

The book must be from the realm of History. It cannot be a biography, but must look at a larger slice of life than one person.

Please think of a topic that interests YOU, and find a history of it. Do not limit your view of history to wars and presidents. History is how people have lived life, so pick an area of life that makes you smile.
