I read them all again last month
It started by me just wanting to read this section about Tom bombadil. I could not remember it very well since it had been 20 years since I read the books. And someone I know recently wrote a book about Tom bombadil I ended up reading the whole series again.

The Odin Mission- James Holland.

This historical-crime-noir book was one of the best that I've read in several years. The story is about a murder investigation that takes place Honolulu just before Pearl Harbor and continues thru the war. It's very well written.

Glad I jumped back into this thread - ordered this the other day, supposed to be here tomorrow!

In the meantime . . .

The crime noir showed up yesterday. Glad for the heads up here from @ssjones. Took a peek at the first few pages, usually a good indicator --- I'm hooked. After breakfast, possibly a bowl or two while some other things are attended to, my feet will be on the Ottoman and then I'm reading today!

Just finished reading this by Peter Chan, very informative on the selection of different species for creating Bonsai. It provides a great amount of examples of different styles for each tree variety as well as caring for them. He also makes great youtube videos for his nursery "Herons Bonsai".

Hot Springs is still one of my favorite books - picked it up while on a trip a long time ago on a whim and couldn’t put it down.

Bout to read through the Wind in the Willows again. Read it for the first time about a year ago.

Just finished the last book in The Killing Series by Bill O'Reilly. Whether you like this gentleman or not, these books are top notch. I highly recommend them especially if you are a history buff.

Like Lee Child, I've read all of Hunter's books.
