Finished this biography this morning by Jane Dunn called Elizabeth & Mary: Cousins, Rivals, Queens. This is an excellent dual biography of two queens of Europe from the 1500s. The book is a great look at the relationship and rivalry of these two women. I highly recommend checking out this book.

For all of you baseball fans out there that love the history of the game, this was a good one about the 1908 season and the amazingly close finish to the NL pennant race. It discusses the changes in baseball that led to the modern era of the game. Good stuff. Crazy ‘08 by Cait Murphy.
