    Finished Baa Baa Blacksheep. Back to reading the City of Bones series as well as the Prydian series. BTW I highly recommend "Pappy" Boyington's book.

    What a name.

    I don't know if I should buy a vowel or a consonant...

    Looks to me like someone was trying to spell a sneeze.

    Just finished the last book in the Chronicles of Prydian. Now have to decide what to read. Have several started. May continue one of them, or start something new. Or maybe re-read something. Thinking of re-reading the Arrows of thd Queen series.

    Am reading the 2nd book of The Arrows of the Queen series, which is Arrows Flight. Also listening to The Pickwick Papers. On audiobook. So far it has been interesting but nothing to be classed as a classic for.

    Finished the Arrows of the Queen series. Started a related book titled Sun in Glory. Also went back to reading the series started with City of Bones. Also reading Who Moved the Stone. And finished The Pickwick Papers on audio book.

    On that work. I'm glad I "read" it but, honestly fail to see what makes it a classic. It was a mildly interesting book. But if I had been actually reading it, rather than listening to it on audiobook I would have stopped long before the end.

    It’s a nice apologetic book targeted at college age kids. Budziszewski is actually a Roman Catholic but he writes relevantly for Evangelicals too.

    Finished Budziszewski’s book. Enjoyed it.

    Then I read and finished “Symbol or Substance?” by Peter Kreeft which was a fictional dialogue between Billy Graham, C.S. Lewis and Tolkien about the nature of the Eucharist.

    I’m currently reading “The Ultimate Proof of Creation” by Dr. Jason Lisle. He’s YEC. I haven’t read a YEC book in a long time. But the primary reason I’m reading it is he is a presuppositional apologist and I’m reading it to study that methodology (and I always entertain the idea that I can be wrong in my origins view).

    Reading A Study in Sable by Mercedes Lacky. Very interesting as 2 of the main characters interact with Sherlock Holmes and Mary and John Watson, who, incidentally live in 221C Baker Street. Also "reading" X by Sue Grafton on audiobook.

    Still reading the Study in Sable but finished Take a Thief by Mercedes Lacky. It's related to the Arrow's of the Queen series. Its an origin story of one of the ancillary characters from that book.

    I remember reading that years ago. Meanwhile I've started reading Exiles Honor. Which is another origin story by Mercedes Lacky of an ancillary character from the Arrows of the Queen series. Also started a new book by Mercedes Lacky in her Elemental Master series.
