I finished the book on Waterloo I was reading - good read, covered the non British battle quiet well



Four stars, if anyone is keep track :)

Currently reading one that I saw Darcy was reading and I thought it looked interesting - It's NON FICTION

[Darcy]

Just sort of ignore all the typos. Either someone didn't really proof their galley, or someone at the printers was taking the mick.

[Andy]

Back to Sergeant Steffan Gillespie for me, this time set in New York The City of Strangers

All my other GR pals have raved about it... so far I'm leaning towards your view. I'm not that far tho.

You might enjoy Lindsay Clarke's books The War at Troy and The Return from Troybetter. As retellings of the the Illiad and the Odyssey they are excellent. At least, the first one is, am waiting on the second one.

[siriusedward]

liking so far....only reached 2d chapter though....

That's on my TBR list. Please post a review, I'm curious about that one.

[Brian]

I really enjoy this series.

[Gretchen]

I started Stormbird today. Still working on Wolf Hall. Also reading an arc of The Accidental Empress

[Darcy]

I'm reading The King's Exile
This is a whole new area of the English Civil War I had no idea about. I knew about that criminals were deported, then indentured in Barbados. I love when authors open up infrequently discussed points of history in an interesting way.
I'm only 20 or so pages in, but the premise has me intrigued.

[Dawn]

I've started The Blood Crows, #12 in the series. I'm hoping #13 gets processed at the library soon.

The Empty Throne by Bernard Cornwell is waiting for me at the library so I can catch up with Uhtred soon!

[Linda]

I started MAD DOG JUSTICE by Mark Rubinstein today. No b/a feature .

[Darcy]

(For Linda) Mad Dog Justice

[Kimber]

Finished The Blood of Olympus in one day. Guilty pleasure reads...gotta love 'em. Staring on The Passion of Marie Romanov .

[Gretchen]

I love Percy Jackson and crew. I am excited for the Norse based series coming next year.

Watership Down
Reading Watership Down and I have read around 90 pages in. So far I enjoy it.

A book I have not read for many decades. I remember it is a beautiful and touching story.

Watership Down is one of my all time favourite books.

I tend to re-read it on a semi-regular basis.

[Jane]

Tell by Frances Itani

Oh no ... the movie traumatized my when I was a kid.

It´s one of my first "real" memories, watching this movie with my parents. It was so horrible for me ... never ever watched this movie again.

I'm in a non fiction mode right now. I finished Glencoe: The Infamous Massacre 1692. Not bad, but it felt a little text booky, great illustrations, both modern photos of the site and period drawing/paintings - 3.25 stars

Currently reading one soldiers experiences in the Battle of the Bulge and the fighting that occured prior to it in the Hurtgen Forest



both came in as ILL, so they went to the top of the to read pile :)

[Pamela]

I've just finished a non-fiction too , an excellent general sweep of the whole war.

Now I'm reading for something totally different, and just starting , the third Thomas of Hookton

[Elizabeth]

I'm currently reading as part of preparing for research for my next full length historical romance.

[C.P.]

Re-reading The Hippopotamus Pool for fun and out of general brain-deadness, while tossing off the occasional history book for research. (Hildegard von Bingen's Physica: The Complete English Translation of Her Classic Work on Health and Healing is a particular favorite.)

Gearing up to start The Gondola Maker soon.

[Mark]

Started Heir of Novron

[Margaret, Sherlockian Sheila]

Reading S.Holmes and the Frightened Golfer

Very good pastiche.

[Jane]

A War Like No Other: How the Athenians and Spartans Fought the Peloponnesian War by Victor Davis Hanson

I think I'll like the way this is set up: not a strictly chronological recitation of names and dates, but by broad subjects: Fear [Causes]; Armor [the hoplite]; Walls [sieges and siegecraft]......
Looks like a good index too.

[happy]

I finished Bloody Roads to Germany: At Huertgen Forest and the Bulge--an American Soldier's Courageous Story of World War II - not bad, unusal style that breaks up the flow of the narrative, but at the same time effective in telling the story - I recommend it for WW II buffs.

Currently reading another NON FICTION WW II book - again a short turn around ILL

[Dawn]

I have 3 of those ILL's I need to read fast myself.

I've started Murder in the Place of Anubis

and have a 10 days to finish Solace for a Sinner & The Leper's Return

Received this Sherlock: Chroniclesin the mail last night.

This is something to be slowly savoured. :D

[C.P.]

Dawn wrote: "I've started Murder in the Place of Anubis."

Do post what you think of it. Looks interesting!

About to start The Gondola Maker.

[Dawn]

Just in time to absorb before you go to London for your tour of Sherlockian places!

Easy read so far C.P., much hinges on how good the mystery is. I'll let you know.

Just finish by Colleen McCullough It's probably my favorite book about ancient Rome
My review ====> https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Now I'm reading by Kurt Vonnegut

[Diego]

Done with . Much better than the first one. I'm liking the series. Good thing I've only read one Sharpe so far, if not I'll surely be criticizing this series. As long as they are from different eras, I don't get tired of these military campaign series of novels. Though it would be really great if there were more military novels outside of the typical scenarios like Ancient Roman, Medieval English or British Empire.
