Reviews: Monuments Men & Popular

This week I have read two non-fiction books that I highly recommend. One was a movie and one might be made into a movie, but that’s where the similarities of these titles end.

The Monuments Men by Robert M. Edsel is the story of allied forces hunting for the art stolen by the Nazis. And, Popular: Vintage Wisdom for a Modern Geek by Maya Van Wagenen follows the author through her 8th-grade year using the advice from a 1950’s guide to teen popularity.
