ReplyDeleteWell, we'll see...
DeleteThe Magnificent Nine sounds like a great read.
ReplyDeleteMy Top Ten Tuesday post.
Yes, I'm enjoying it now. :)
DeleteI'll look forward to your review of the Goldstein book. It'll be interesting to see how some have *solved* Global Warming! Some of the most recent books on the subject are quite apocalyptic!
ReplyDeleteI know it includes in part nuclear energy, which is one of the reasons I went for the book.
DeleteThere are Firefly books? How did I not know that? That sounds great.
ReplyDeleteYep! Since Oct 2017, anyway. This is the second in the series. The author does a good job capturing the character's voices.
DeleteThe cover of Street Smart is so cool. I hope you enjoy all of these.

Thank you! Enjoy yours, too, especially that Aladdin book. :)
DeleteI haven't heard of any of these, but I hope you love them when you get to them.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
An interesting group of books. I think that I would like to read them all. To Rule the Waves sounds particularly good. I plan to start reading some books about the British Empire soon and this looks like it would fit in well.
ReplyDeleteIn a week or so I'll post a few more books of interest in that category!
DeleteAs always, an interesting and well-rounded list! I'll be eagerly awaiting your review of To Rules the Waves.
