Real People, Real Stories

Fri, 01/08/2021 - 8:53am -- SEgan

If you have shied away from biographies, autobiographies and memoirs for fear of them being too dry, we sympathize. It is a genre that is tough to measure up to thrills of reading a chilling thriller or mystery or even a historical fiction (or science fiction/ fantasy) that can carry you away to a different world. But biographies, autobiographies and memoirs can bring history to life and tell a story that is both compelling and dynamic.

Stories That Span Generations

Fri, 12/04/2020 - 10:17am -- SEgan

If you are in the mood for an immersive book you can dive into, multigenerational family sagas are a great option. These stories allow you to get to know a character and their descendants over several decades and across the world, with a focus on how time changes us and shapes our experiences. The people we want to become aren’t necessarily the people we are, and generational books do an excellent job helping us understand that gap and seeing where we come from.
