Books lately?

Have any favorites?

What kind of books do you enjoy reading?

I am an avid reader! I own hundreds of books of all sorts. I especially enjoy true crime but I will read just about anything. It's about that time to go book shopping. Ideas appreciated!

I've been reading a three book series on the Civil War.

The author is Jeff Shaara

I liked the movie "Gettysburg", which is based on the middle book of the series titled "Killer Angels".

Hence the reason I decided to read the series.
