    Beloved sport of the United States across the 50 states in the time range of 1920s-1980s. Football has been around, enteraining over thousands of football fans. This book by Zander Hollander tells us about the crazy events in NFL's games history plus with some players. I really liked this book as a fellow football fan, and my dad also loved football and we would eventually discuss about football and their teams with the players. Would definitely recommend this for any football fans! - Happy Reading!

    book_addict's book review was featured in Stalking Jack the Ripper.
    Amazing book! I wouldn't call it a horror novel (as said in the description^)... it just has elements of Gothic fiction in it since it takes place in the late 1800s and follows real, actual events that happened in history. For context, Jack the Ripper (also known as the Leather Apron and the Whitechapel Murderer) was an unidentified murderer (he was never caught) known for killing women in London in 1888. The book is mainly a mystery where Audrey Rose Wadsworth, who studies forensics under her uncle, and her uncle's (very) clever student, Thomas Cresswell, are present during the time the murders start and have to use their knowledge and clues from the murders that keep happening to find out who Jack the Ripper is. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and the 3 other books in the series, so if you enjoy this one, I highly recommend finishing the others, which are also based on historical murders. I'm not a huge mystery person, but this series grabbed my attention with its many plot twists and anticipation of finding out the murderer at the end of each book. It's pretty difficult to guess the murderer correctly because the author is so clever at making her readers never even suspect the actual culprit! Happy reading!
