Summer has officially begun for me and that means even more time to enjoy reading. To celebrate the start of another summer reading season, my kiddo and I made a trip down to glorious Powell’s Books downtown. I had already snagged a few books from school that want to read soon (the history book The 20th Century and Ken Follet’s A Dangerous Fortune). I wound up getting three from Powell’s, and because they didn’t have a few Richard J. Evans books that I wanted, I had to come home and order a few more for good measure (one of the books is a biography of British historian Eric Hobsbwam, but it won’t arrive for another week or so). The very recently published Tad Stroemer book is the only non-used book of the bunch. I think the Follett novel will be the first of these that I’ll start; just got to get through Dungeon Crawler Carl first (because I can only handle one novel at a time).
