My Brother's Battle by Meredith Allard
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I downloaded this ebook for free to my Nook library from Barnes and Noble in 2012.
This historical fiction uses the history of real men and includes the fictional characters to expound on ways that may be possible for brothers to chose different armies in which to serve.
Readers who enjoy historical fiction set in this era may enjoy the book.

The Urban Sketching Handbook: Working with Color: Techniques for Using Watercolor and Color Media on the Go by Shari Blaukopf
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I put this book on my Wish List because I had previously taken two classes with Ms. Blaukopf at Craftsy.com (now Bluprint.com.) I occasionally follow her blog https://shariblaukopf.com/

There are 25 Challenges at the end of the book that provide ideas for practice.

I consider this book an Aspirational Read because many of the ideas for practice are above my beginner skill level and many artists provided their art for different ways of using similar techniques.

This ebook has been in my Nook library since I downloaded it in Oct 2012 when it was free. It is historical fiction that feels well-researched. It is strongly Christian fiction.

Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Barnes and Noble offered this ebook as its Serial Read for March 2019.
It is an interesting origin story set in a dystopian future, and it begins a series. I think this content may be appropriate for older YA readers, those who are about the same age as our protagonists.

Spinning by Michael Baron
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I downloaded this ebook to my Nook library when it was free in 2012. It is a human interest story with interesting characters. It lost a star for me because I kept wondering why D didn't consult a lawyer before the second crisis.
