We are learning about
The Twelve Caesars: The Dramatic Lives of the Emperors of Rome. This is Matthew Dennison's unforgettable depiction of the Roman empire at the height of its power and reach, and an elegantly sensational retelling of the lives and times of the twelve Caesars, one of them was a military genius, one murdered his mother and fiddled while Rome burned, and another earned the nickname "sphincter artist." Six of their number was assassinated, two committed suicide, and five of them were elevated to the status of gods.

Her name is Lupe, and she thinks she sees what's coming -- specifically, her own future and her brother's. Regarding what has happened, as opposed to what will, Lupe is usually right about the past; without your telling her, she knows all the worst things that have happened to you... As an older man, Juan Diego will take a trip to the Philippines, ... where what happened to him in the past -- in Mexico -- collides with his future.

| The Oregon Trail |

The Oregon Trail: A New American Journey
, by Rinker Buck is our next book. This bestseller has been hailed as a quintessential American story. This is an epic account of traveling the 2,000-mile length of the Oregon Trail the old-fashioned way in a covered wagon with a team of mules that has captivated readers, critics, and booksellers from coast to coast. Simultaneously a majestic journey across the West, a significant work of history, and a moving personal saga, Buck's chronicle is a laugh-out-loud masterpiece that so ensnares the emotions it becomes a tear-jerker at its close, and will leave you daydreaming and hungry to see this land.
