Just completed #16 - something to hang on the wall - light) - City of Light by Lauren Belfer. This was a fascinating look at the politics in Buffalo at the beginning of the 20th century. It’s a great book to read around traveling to Niagara! It reads a bit slow and could have been edited a touch to prevent a little repetitiveness. Overall, I enjoyed this! 4 stars
