Reading about the Presidents of the U.S.A.

I’ve joined the U.S. Presidents’ Reading Project, in which I’ll read about the presidents. The challenge is one without a time limit, and I’m planning on reading one or two books a year.

Any links on Rebecca Reads are the book titles. Any title in bold has been read (may or may not have been reviewed). Non-bold titles are books I’d like to read.
