Just got the 2nd book of the Australians today. The Settlers. As a bonus it was wrapped in the wine & dine guide from the El PAso times. Don't think I'll be making any of the hot spots listed.
Hell of a drift, but I once stopped at a truck stop, east of there and ordered Pecan pie. It was, I think oatmeal with peanuts on top. WTF

Yes, I'm a terrible Dwellar. I'm not allowed to go on from work, and it's a PITA from the phone. But I'll try to do better. Really.
Dead Wake - Erik Larson As usual, he tales a story that is about technology, war tactics, and diplomacy and turns it into a compelling story about people. Shame on Netflix for not having any documentaries on the Lusitania. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk

Pines by Blake Crouch. Confusing but interesting so far

Wayward fell flat in the same way that the D.F. Jones Colossus sequels and the second half of David Brin's The Postman did.

I think this line's mostly filler.

Kindle Fire is great for reading comics without filling up the house. I read Fables, and am almost done with Unwritten. Thinking of starting Saga next. I'm also rereading Song of Ice and Fire.

I love my Kindles. Just finished The Glass Magician by Charlie N Holmberg. It's the second book on the series. The first was The Paper Magician. I am appreciating the books for some decent editing (rare amongst new authors) and a unique magic system.

Just finished The Secret Histort of Las Vegas by Chris Abani. It was debatable at one point whether I'd finish it, but I did. was OK. Remember, I'm a philistine, it was probably pretty good.
here's the WaPo review. I just picked it off the library shelf because it was a paperback and in the crime section.

Landed Gently - Alan Hunter
The books are not at all like the TV series. Shadows of the Workhouse - Jennifer Worth The books are entirely like the TV series (Call the Midwife) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk

Starting Use of Weapons - Iain Banks. I find him slow going. I think it's the names.
