What are you reading?
Let's share book ideas! I'm currently reading Huckleberry Finn. Haven't read it since I was a kid and, no surprise, it's a lot more complex than I remembered :). And a good traveling book! Als...

An Infamous Army by Georgette Heyer. Takes place before and during the Battle of Waterloo
My Dad was enthralled when we visited the site at Waterloo & announced he was climbing to the top of the monument. I was, like, "Uh, no, no, Dad... I think I'll just wait for you down here!" I'd like to read the book. I'll check my online library. They have a lot of Georgette Heyer but not necessarily the ones you've read.
BTW, I saw an episode of "Cops" set in Lynn, Ma & thought of you guys. See? I don't always have my nose in a book?

My husband is a retired lynn police sergeant. I was just looking at a pic in out local paper and in it was one of my former 5th graders. He was one of the best kids ever. Even then he wanted to be a policeman.
I have read a lot of history but knew really nothing about Napolean or the wars. It was a fascinating description with tons of details. Some sort of confusing but I looked at teh clock last night and it was 2:30AM and I didn't want to stop reading it. In the bio of Heyer there is a lot about the time and research she put into this book and the battle. It also said that her description of the battles and movements of troops was studied at West Point for years.
My service has her bio! I'll queue it up!
Oh, uh, and tell your husband I said, "Thank you for your service". It's ridiculous what we're asking of men & women wearing dark blue!
