Cover looks cool and synopsis sounds cool. How is it? I’ll need a new series once I’m through with Jeff wheeler’s books.

Tales of Genji, supposed to be a Japanese classic.

This is unquestionably one of the best nonfiction works I have read in quite sometime. It flows like a novel and the sometimes startling and amazing events described are engrossing.

Finishing the "Connecticut Yankee" style Nantucket series. The entire island of Nantucket gets sent back to the Bronze Age.
It's ok, I find it a little bit better than 1692/Ring of Fire series.

That is the exact way I describe one of his earlier works, Blood and Thunder, about Kit Carson. Highly recommend it if you haven't read it.
Hopefully I will start The Wide Wide Sea this weekend.

I'm about half way through, highly recommended. Excellent forward for the most recent edition that gets into the history of the relation between Ukraine and Russia, written after the Russian invasion. The book, though, focusses on the actual break up of the Soviet Union. Very well researched with material released to archives. Gorbachev's reforms led individual members of the union to want more control of their own destiny, and ultimately led to the break up. Yeltsin was Gorbachev's main rival, though they worked together during the attempted coup by the hard liners. Bush senior has a prominent role. Ukraine played a major role in the final break up and it also gets into the Baltics, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Chechnya. Very detailed book.

I finally got around to reading The Way of Kings and just started on Words of Radiance. It took a while for me to get into it but I'm hooked!
Also I'm listening to the Mistborn series on Audible. I'm just about done with Final Empire and it's great!
I feel like I'm so far behind on everything I want to read.

Polished off Tuck Everlasting in two days. Never watched the movie so didn't know anything about it going in, that was a fun, sad, quick read.
Wasn't too crazy about Red Rising, it was a little overhyped. But going to keep going.

Shattered Sword: the untold story of the battle of Midway.
By Jonathan Parshall and Anthony Tully.
Basically the Battle of Midway from the Japanese perspective quite different than what the popular notions and is a very good read.
