George Washington's Secret Six: The Spy Ring That Saved the American Revolution
By Brian Kilmeade and Don Yaeger
This is the last week of this year long voyage of reading a book a week for the first year of my little guy's journey through school. I don't think this year ended up exactly like I thought it would. The books that my book group picked were all pretty horrible, and as I have stated earlier, kindergarten was just a dumpster fire.
I have decided to sorta redo this challenge of a book a week with the added idea that I will also be quilting. Yes, I also quilt for all of my loved ones and I belong to a quilting group at my church. So in the spirit of positive changes, I will dive into a new year of trying new things. Today was our son's first day of first grade. In his own words, “first grade isn't going too bad!” I am going to take this as a new Omen and hope that I will have a great year and not feel like crap everyday fearing my son would feel like crap due to his teacher. Maybe by this time next year we might finally be parents to a third little human. (because this infertility can go jump in a lake). I also plan on taking care of myself physically as well; no more putting crap food in my body and working out much more.
When it comes to this week's book. I literally can't tell you much about the book, I just feared the start of the next school year and just wanted the book to be done. I have been dreading our son going to the first grade and I kind of wanted for him to go so it would be over with. The anticipation is always worse than the actual event.
The book is about the spies during the Revolutionary War. It should be noted here that one of the authors is one of the people from Fox News. The book isn't political in the slightest but I just wanted to put it out there that I don't watch Fox News. The concept of the book sounds cool; spies saving the day and winning the war. However, I’m going to be honest here, I don't usually read historical books. I don't read books that would be qualified as anything you could use as a reference in a term paper from college. My days of doing that kind of reading are done. I love reading classics that have been written centuries ago, but that is as close to history as I normally go. If you happen to love history books this might be the book for you.
