Bipolar Disorder, My Biggest Competitor: An Olympian's Journey with Mental Illness by Amy J Gamble

Insightful, Inspiring, Informative

We enjoyed the book and having Amy join us for discussion of her book and mental illness. She is making a difference in this Ohio Valley area for folks and their families with mental illness. She is in the local schools discussing mental illness with students and staff. We are blessed to have her in our area. We would definitely recommend her book!

Carnegie's Maid: A Novel by Marie Benedict

Interesting, Fun, Slow

We liked the book and spending the day at the Frick Museum in Pittsburgh made the book come alive. Even though it was a different house, the back stairway to the library, the clothing and stagecoach of that era brought the book to life.

Informative, Insightful, Dark

We would recommend this book. Well written and unfortunately based on facts of a time that black people were severely mistreated.

We would recommend this book, however, the middle is a little slow. Overall, we liked the history and some details of history we were not aware.
