Forgive my ignorance, but are they meant to be read together? Or should you read they with a different perspective?

Hey there Anne! Welcome to the group!

Hello and welcome to the group Bruno!

It is nice to see you back Carolyn! Nice that the hotel was so accomidating!

I must agree that the battle was interesting, and I thought that it was rather pivotal to the story. It seems that most of the Russian story lines came from that main battle.
About the second Epilogue, I did not read it. Skimmed it and decided that the story had ended and thus could not subject myself to his ramblings any longer! So I guess technically, I did not read it all. Oh well!:)

Hello and welcome to the group Kayla

I sent out a poll today for May's group read. I think that I got all of the suggestions, but if I missed one, please let me know and I will add it to the list! Thanks again! The poll ends April 15th, so you have plenty of time to vote on it.!

Congratulations Kelly! They are addicting though!

That always reminds me of the Sylvester and Tweety cartoon, where Tweety drinks the potion and turns into a giant, mean bird. Ha, love that one!

Welcome to both of you and I hope that you enjoy the group!

Welcome to the group Lacrima Atra! Hope that you enjoy!

Congratulations to you also Ellen! Way to go!

I just finished Aunt Dimity: Snowbound. These are such fun, little reads. Clears my mind.

You are AMAZING! Congratulations and I hope that you enjoy it more than the last one!

Never heard of this one either. Does it seem like these prequel/sequel books are becoming much more popular?
