Dead Presidents: An American Adventure into the Strange Deaths and Surprising Afterlives of Our Nations Leaders | 
pickFunny, sometimes poignant, always interesting account of our past presidents, how they passed away and how they are viewed today. Important men of their day, now some forgotten, just names in history books. Bush Jr, Obama and Trump mean something now, but in 50 or 100 years they too will be trivia questions on Jeopardy! 4 💥💥💥💥

pickFor those fans of quirky history...
pickInformative book on how we honor dead presidents. I learned quite a bit about lesser known (at least to me) presidents.
This was my #FirstEverLitsyPost I didn't do a great job with an interesting photo but I did really like this book!
August recap ... 8 books, 1 graphic novel and 1 audiobook. No wonder I'm so behind on editing!! Whoops. I loved so many of them this month, especially The Revenant, Before The Fall and Sleeping Giants. #augustphotochallenge

A little reading before bed... Good night world!
pickA little Mary Roach and a little travel memoir with a lot of interesting bit of Presidential knowledge. Sometimes I felt like the author was being a little too pop culture-y on a topic that didn't quite jive with that but overall it was engaging.
I'm digging the random facts, as well as the way the chapters are divided - makes it easy to pick up and put down between other books. I think my husband loves me learning American history (im 🇨🇦, he's 🇺🇸), but I keep calling him to say DID YOU KNOW ...
pickThis was a really fun read that was educational and entertaining. I love presidential history and learned a lot from this one, especially about how the U.S. memorializes its former leaders.
Lunchtime reading. This is a fun and informative book for anyone who is interested in presidents.
pickI love quirky histories on specific topics. And memorializing the dead is one of my FAVORITE research topics. An enjoyable listen on audio to boot.
