10. Once again, Deb I am with you.

Love mysteries and history. I am reading Best in Snow by David Rosenfelt. I believe SheltieLover turned me on to this writer. Andy Carpenter is a smart aleck defense attorney who also has a Golden Retriever named Tara. My history book this week is Dan Jones’ book on Henry V. 📚📘📖

15. Strictly A Non-Fiction Guy

WW2, Robber Baron era, and a bunch of music biographies. (I read Glynn John's bio late last year.)

16. WW2 is a never ending source of remarkable stories..

My parents generation. My wife's father was on a supply ship in the Pacific that was hit by a kamikaze plane. Damaged but not sunk: if they had been successful my wife wouldn't exist.

20. Here's One For Ya!

My dad's cousin Frank was one of the Band Of Brothers!.
He was a 10 or so years older than my dad, so old enough for WW2.
He was a paratrooper on the 101st and was portrayed by James Madio in the miniseries on HBo.
He went to the HS where I now occasionally substitute teach.
His brother Jack lived in the city too, and his kid became an MLB player. So, Frank became famous & so did his nephew.
I read a few books in the series & my dad was hooked on the miniseries because of the family connection.

17. History and biography.

I do like historical mysteries, though. My two favorite series, the Marcus Didius Falco Mysteries, and the Gordianus the Finder Mysteries, are set in Ancient Rome. The Principate for Falco, and the Roman Republic for Gordianus. I recommend them both highly.

21. Mysteries

[LogDog75]

22. I have a couple of genres

I like mysteries. Police, lawyer, or other non-police character mysteries. Series like Jack Reacher by Lee Child, the Prey series centering on Lucas Davenport by John Sanford.

I like classic scifi like The Foundation Series or Job, a Comedy of Errors.

Good, modern scifi novels by Ben Bova, Gregory Benford, and Andy Weir.

Classics like Les Miserables, and Great Expectations.

Not much of a mystery romance fan but I do like the Rockton novels by Kelley Armstrong and the Eve Duncan and kendra Michaels series by Iris Johansen.

23. Science Fiction! Occasionally....

Non-fiction: a rare biography quite way back, definitely some straight Science books.
A rarer non SF novel.

One Historical Science Fiction by Connie Willis - ?Duology Blackout/All Clear
I read the 2nd.
A bunch of future time traveling historians travel back to London/England (not sure if they go to Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland) during WW2.
Interesting!
One critic said it wasn't rough enough.
I liked it.
