I signed onto this website because I love reading and I thought this was the perfect opportunity to keep a record of all the books I've ever read, at least so far as I can recall. This is by no means a comprehensive list, but I keep adding books when I remember them.

So here we have an interesting Pulitzer prize-winning history of southern white people’s resistance to the federal government as seen mostly through the lens of the history and politics of Alabama, one county in particular. A less-than-proud history ...more

The action starts immediately as this one rolls on to the end. I guess, when you’re determined to keep the word count down, you need to get right to it.

Out Law by Jim  Butcher

This novella is a solid and entertaining entry in the franchise.

What more is there to say? I had a good time. It was the usual stuff: a new supernatural enemy, a battle against seemingly insurmountable odds, a clever plan, etc.
