To discuss your weekly readings of books, textbooks and papers.
I began "La Guerre de Cent Ans" 
by Georges Minois and "Fire & Blood" by 
. So one cool real history book about two dynasties fighting (Plantagenet and Capetian cadet branches) with explanations of the economic and demographic context of 14th century England and France, and the other being fake history of House Targaryen up to the Dance of the Dragons and the reign of Aegon III.
Funny how the 100 years war is also centered around whether a king can inherit through a foid's line (England) or through male-only line (Salic Law).

I read two AM Shine books this week, The Watchers and The Creeper, the build up in The Creeper was better but the ending was kinda meh. The Watchers was fun, but as soon as your given all the pieces I was able to call the twist right away.
Taking a break from spooky books for now, because they generally just aren't that good, and started The Dresden Files. It's been schlocky and lowbrow and funny so far.
