Santa, you've done well!

I am an avid reader and lover of books. I like to read to learn, so most of what I read is non-fiction. I maintain a (long) list of books I'd love to read and I have a particular goal of reading the last 30 years' worth of Pulitzer winners.

Santa nailed it with three titles I haven't read, two of which are Pulitzer winners.

Once I read them, Ghost Wars and The Looming Tower will go in my World History section (visible in the picture, between the globe bookends) alongside Black Flags: The Rise of Isis (2016's Pulitzer for General Nonfiction, one I read early this year!) and beef up my global-historical understanding of the attacks on the Twin Towers, the US Invasion of Iraq, and the war in Afghanistan.

102 Minutes will go in the US History section, somewhat visible to the left of World History. I was in 5th grade in 2001, so while I have my own (distorted) memories, I'm looking forward to reading first-hand accounts.

So many books, so little time. Off to finish Race and Reunion (2011's History Pulitzer) before I dive into these.

Xoxo, Dutchess
