I’m gonna check into book browse. I am always interested in your reviews. It’s suppose to be 102 here this weekend. Keep those babies cool. My trudy lays in front of the air in my bedroom. My central heat unit gave out last year but we have window units. I went to the used book store today and found a lot of stuff. I found 2 books to go with the 5 I have of the David McCullough read along. I been wanting to read nanthaniel Philbrick and found 2. I got manhunt after listening to bill talking about it.

Recently home from a grand mid-western tour; I brought some grand mid-western crud home for a souvenir, so sitting in my recliner listening to you with a box of tissue and a cup of soup. I have Ariadne, but no telling when I will get to it. The first Tommy and Tuppence novel was good, with lots of red herrings.😊

I hope you get to feeling better asap! Martine is a big fan of Tommy and Tuppence. Which reminds me...we need to finish up Marple a Month!

I always look forward to your videos! I'm glad I'm not the only one behind on D-Day by Ambrose. I'm still reading it. I enjoy it a lot, but I read several books at once, so it takes me a little longer. You mentioned the Shadow of the Vesuvius and it's one of the books I just got a couple days ago to read. I also got the new book on Harriet Tubman "Night Flyer." The other books I'm already reading is "Into Siberia: George Kennan's Epic Journey Through the Brutal, Frozen Heart of Russia" by Gregory J. Wallance. I'm also almost done with Equiano, The African: "Biography of a Self-Made Man" by Vincent Carretta and over 60 pages in on Percival Evererr's book "James." Here and there, I add the reading of a short story or poem by the Penguin Classic "The Literature of Japanese American Incarceration." They're all great readings! I'll be getting "The missing Thread" and the John Quincy biography with my history book club credits next month. Now, because of your video, I'm also very interested in reading "A Hell of a Storm" as soon as I can. I read slower than I buy books, but oh well, the important part is that I'm reading 😊 I'd love to subscribe to your book reviews once I start working again. Have a wonderful week and enjoy some great books!

Wow, I’m impressed with all the books you’re currently reading! That’s amazing. Thank you for reminding me about the Kennan in Siberia book…I definitely want to get it. And don’t worry about the subscription…your time watching and commenting on my channel is all the support I truly need. 🙌🏻

@@TheHistoryShelf I think you will enjoy Into Siberia. I'm not far enough to have a complete opinion as I just got back to it and barely finished the introduction; however, so far it is very interesting as I knew nothing about George Kennan before this book. I love Russian literature and learning about the gulags and Siberia exiles history, so now I don't want to put it down. Also, the intro refers to one of my favorite books "House of the Dead" by Dostoyevski, which has made me prioritize reading it again. Have a great summer!

103 in Denver?! Ew, that just ain't right. "A Hell of a Storm" sounds terrific. I'll be looking for that one in September. Despite my stated intent to finish, I'm only on Chapter 22 of D-Day. Yeah, life happens. 🙄 But at least that fold out cover on "Reason" cheered me up! 🫣 By the way, I'm almost getting a vibe that you'd like us to check out that Book Browse thing. I'll see what I can do, despite your filthy centrist yearnings. 😉
