The first book in a series of four by Geirr H. Haarr which covers the naval war in Northern Europe from Sept. 1st, 1939 to the invasion of Norway. It is a bit dry but full of info and first-hand testimonies. Warmly suggested (I already have all four books).

Damn this should have been delivered by now... Amazon keeps changing the date and now say its out of stock.... :cry:

Hopefully this should not be too much longer....

But there is now another Seaforth tome that whets the appetite. Should be out in April and really looking forward to this based on who the author is.... my book budget has already taken a hammering and we're only barely in February....

Been devouring C.J. Box's Joe Pickett series as fast as I can read them. Got the last three sitting on my Kindle and the next one preordered.

The Time of the Dark by Barbara Hambly, an old fantasy favorite from my library.

I'm also reading some of my old Ablaze The Cimmerian (Conan) comic's I've collected.

I have read through first 4 novels of Aeon 14 by M. D. Cooper that start with a novel Outsystem. As I have said here before, the novels are on the harder end of Mohs scale of science fiction hardness. This is particularly true for the first 3 novels that make up the Intrepid Saga, where spacecraft don't come anywhere close of light speed and interstellar travel means people being in stasis. 4th novel, Destiny Lost, makes a time skip of several thousands years into the future (something called "time dilation"), where limits of light speed has been broken, and thus is closer to more common science fiction space opera. Distances, weapon ranges etc. are still enormous. Even though I have other novel series on the plate along with unfinished books, I'm now hooked to Aeon 14. I blame it on each novel ending on a cliffhanger and a desire to read what happens next. Good thing there are plenty of novels so I don't need to wait for authors to pen the next one :mrgreen:
You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.

Just started again with the book by David Glantz Hitlers Generals over 1000 pages. Read it once before but was watching TIKHistory on YouTube on his Stalingrad series and he brought up this book. Check his stuff out, really good

Right now I'm reading a book called Business Processes. Tools for Improvement. Bjorn Andersen. I just want to learn more about it because I see I'm having trouble with it. I'm trying to automate all my business processes with power automate because I think it's more efficient than doing it manually. It will save me a lot of time and I'm doing Power automate training now and I'm trying to understand all the nuances of it and understand what it can do. Hopefully, I can get to the point where I can automate 50% of my stuff.
