Fairly chuffed with myself!!!!

Hi Ricky this book sound interesting is it worth the read.

Next up is a very intriguing sounding read by Dominic Lieven

That is awesome Colin to have been able to talk to the man. Did he have the cigar in his mouth?

It is an awesome read Gerald

by Warren Kozak

Finally have got to this book after having it sitting on the shelf for a while. You all know how it is, you have a book you really want to read but other ones keep distracting you.

Im sure you could Rick with the huge size of it. Me on the other hand will just have to confess as this one looks right up my alley.

Interesting subject added to the good old TBR

So many good books to catch up on

Just finished readin Paul Hams excellent Kindle Single 1913: The Eve of War which is a lead in to his more substantial book on the subject

This book looks like a really interesting concept. It is a graphic novel on WWI.
by Barroux

Here is the book description:

A graphic adaptation of a 100-year-old diary brings World War I history to lifeOne winter morning, Barroux was walking down a street in Paris when he made an extraordinary find: the real diary of a soldier in World War I. Barroux rescued the diary from the trash and illustrated the soldier's words. In this striking black and white graphic novel adaptation of a 100-year-old diary, the events of the first two months of World War I are given fresh meaning and relevance to modern audiences. This is living history that has the power to engage new generations through one man's story that is silhouetted against the historical events that formed and transformed the world we live in today.

From one Michael to another welcome :)
