On this week’s Forever Books review, Robin & Diana recommend two completely different kind of books. 

Robin Recommends:

American Creation: Triumphs and Tragedies at the Founding of the Republic”, by Joseph J. Ellis, is a great armchair read about America’s history between the time period of the War of Independence and the Louisiana Purchase.

Diana Recommends:

Engleby”, by author Sebastian Faulks, is a journal-like story about a man named Mike Engleby who is connected with the disappearance of a young woman.  Did he or didn’t he do it?

No matter what age you are, you will love our destination in our Experience Michiana segment.  We headed over to the Albanese Candy Factory in Hobart, Indiana to see the process of how they make gummi candy and to see The World’s Tallest Chocolate Waterfall.
