This might be oddly specific but I just wanted to try and find something like this. When I was a teen, me and a friend paired up to do summer reading and had a blast doing it together over the phone. While we’re both long out of school, we thought it would be fun to do it again. Problem is, I hate most books. Specifically fantasy and fiction since my mind just thinks they’re useless (not a hit on anyone else, I’m just explaining what my mind thinks)
But we both like history, I’ve been into genealogy lately and love learning about my ancestors who were mainly Boston Irish (with some French Canadian). I enjoy history, as well as learning about cool historical stories, so i thought, maybe there’s a book about a real historical character/event that could tie into (even if it’s just barely related) my other hobbies. She will like anything since she loves reading lol so it’s my choice what we read.
If there’s nothing THAT specific, broaden it to any historical event in Boston in that period.
