“Chasing New Horizons: Inside the Epic First Mission to Pluto is a fascinating play-by-play of the dedication, ingenuity and heart that went into the recent NASA mission to Pluto – fitting because the dwarf planet’s largest geological feature looks like a heart in surface photos. My 5-year-old and I are die-hard Pluto fans, and after reading this book, you will be too.”

“Combining tragedy and triumph, history, and sports, The Eagles of Heart Mountain is the true story of the shameful incarceration of 120,000 U.S. citizens of Japanese descent in prison camps during WWII.
“But it’s also the story of the powerful spirit of those imprisoned, exemplified by the Heart Mountain Camp’s high school football team, the Eagles, that played – and beat – white teams from all over Wyoming.”

“One of the reasons my husband and I bought our Crosstrek was to haul our bikes. We ride both gravel and road bikes. While planning a trip to ride the Great Allegheny Passage and the C&O Canal, I came across the book Get Up and Ride by Jim Shea. It’s about two brothers-in-law who ride both paths. It was insightful, full of tips and very humorous.”

“With echoes of the events at Altamont in 1969, The Final Revival of Opal & Nev is written as a series of interviews with musicians and producers who witnessed the death of the protagonist’s father, a drummer at a music showcase in the early 1970s.
“Author Dawnie Walton draws from her experiences as an editor to write authentically about music and the entertainment business, both of which drive the plot in this engaging novel.”

“I don’t feel you can talk about road trips without mentioning Jack Kerouac’s On the Road. My dad was in his youth during the Beat Generation, and I always envision him when I read books from that era.
“I also recommend Pictures of the Gone World, a book of poetry by Lawrence Ferlinghetti. This and the more popular A Coney Island of the Mind are both published by City Lights, a combination bookstore-publisher in San Francisco. City Lights was founded by Ferlinghetti, who passed this year.”
