Building the Titanic: An Epic Tale of the Creation of History's Most Famous Ocean Liner, By Rod Green 160 pgs.
This non-fiction book is full of many wonderful photos, facts, and information on the world's most tragic ocean liner sinking. I found the photos especially facinating of how the ship was built and launched into the ocean after completion. This was a really great read especially to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. Once again, another wonderful book for all of the Titanic fans out there!

Voyage on the Great Titanic, The Diary of Margaret Ann Brady, RMS Titanic 1912
Voyage on the Great Titanic: The Diary of Margaret Ann Brady, RMS Titanic 1912 by Ellen Emerson White, 197 pg.
Another great Titanic story of another survivor of this horrible tragedy. This book is part of the Dear America Series. Thirteen year old Margaret tells the story of how she leaves her life and friends in an orphanage in London to become a companion to a wealthy American woman (Mrs. Carstairs)and her dog name Florence. In the end, Margaret, Mrs. Carstairs, and Florence survive the terrible sinking. However, it was interesting to read another survivor's story of how they overcame this tragedy. Great book, especially if you are a Titanic fan!

Heroine of the Titanic, The Real Unsinkable Molly Brown
Heroine of the Titanic, The Real Unsinkable Molly Brown by Elaine Landau, 131 pg
This year is the 100 anniversary of the Titanic Sinking, and I have been reading many articles and books related to the subject. This was a great biography on Margaret (Molly) Brown. A short but good read. It was very interesting to learn more about her in addition to what I have seen in the movie. For example, she was born in Hannibal, Missouri. The movie doesn't really do her much justice. She was a very courageous woman, and supported many charitable events in her lifetime.
