Got the trilogy of the rings in one very thick volume. Just finished reading it again.

Gave my nine year old grandniece my hardbound copy of The Hobbit.

In an attempt to maintain what remains of my sanity, I’m working my way through the Joe Pickett (Wyoming game warden) series of novels by CJ Box. BTW- They are excellent!

Just read two Michael Crichton books, Pirate Latitudes and Dragon Teeth, both of which I believe were published posthumously.

Those Angy Days by Lynne Olsen
Great writer on WWII this book really focuses on the split American atmosphere prior to our entry into the war. From Charles Lindburgh on the isolationist side toFDR and those who saw America as the power to help save Europe from Hitlers dominance, it is a telling tale of how our nation has been deeply split in the past, much like we are today.
I will say Lynne Olsen also wrote 2 other highly recommended books
“Madeleine Fourcades” French female spy and Citizens of London on 3 well known Americans who lived in London during WWII...Must reads for any WWII enthusiast...

"The Plantagenets: The Warrior Kings and Queens Who Made England by Dan Jones."

Read Thomas B. Costain's "A History Of The Plantagenets" A wonderful 4 volume work that is hard to find now. Full of marvelous quotes many of them witty insults, they had a way with words back then.

I can’t believe I paid for it but I’m reading “Killing Crazy Horse” and it is a phenomenal book....real page turner.
It’s my first “killing” book so I’m pleasantly surprised.

“Beneath a Scarlett Sky”.

Excellent book. I read it last year. I think Pino Lella is still alive.
