Pete Rose lived and breathed baseball his entire life, and tallied more base hits than anyone in history. While this addiction was acceptable, his other addiction, to high-stakes, criminal gambling, was not. O'Brien expertly reveals Rose's triumphs, obsessions, and scandals in a book baseball fans, and even non-fans, will relish. ~ Reviewed by Mike Hare

The history of baseball told through its stars. Statistics form the foundation of the list, but Posnanski expertly blends social context, team dynamics, and personality traits to create an immensely enjoyable review of what he would argue is still the American Pastime. ~ Reviewed by Mike Hare

People are driven to hike the Appalachian Trail for different reasons. Grieving the death of a close family member, restless in her career, and tired of her day to day routine, this local author knows that she needs a change... a total reset in her life. Suddenly, filled with curiosity about the AT, she decides this just might be what she needs. Inexperienced and naive to the rigors of the trail, she sets out; but beset by injuries and running out of funds, her hike is cut short. Two years later she starts again, this time better prepared and determined to make it all the way. She is triumphant at last, and the reader can't help but share her joy as she takes the final steps up Mt. Katahdin, the end of the trail. I thoroughly enjoyed this book; Weygand's accounting of her struggles and successes on the trail was entertaining for sure, but more than that, so inspiring. ~ Reviewed by Lauren Singer

Like its inimitable subject, this book races to the Winners' Circle. Blind in one eye, Lexington racked up stellar victories, and went on to sire dozens of thoroughbred champions. Wickens vividly conveys the colorful world of mid-19th Century American horse racing, while not stinting on the dark backdrop of violence and slavery. ~ Reviewed by Mike Hare
