Just finished 1634.  Somewhere in that series, there a great idea, but it's just a hot mess. The writing in 1634 is just awful.

So much wanted to like the series too. At times it's really working, at (most) other times it's not.

Just finished, "Between Giants-- The Battle for the Baltics in WWII" by Prit Buttar. Another great book by this guy with lots of up to date facts and figures about this narrow slice of the Eastern Front.  O0

Just finished Kenobi and I'm about to start Ken Follett's Fall of Giants.

What'd you think of Kenobi?

I could read faster if I quit playing games. But then....  I really wish I could read AND play games at the same time. And eat chicken wings.  O0

Gus if you want my copy of "Between Giants", just PM me your address and I'll mail it to you. I'm done with it after all.
