Hey there!!! I actually have Killer Angels on my TBR list also!! Right now I am really enjoying The Widow of the South. Have a great weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteAfter pointing out The Killer Angels to you, I decided to listen to it (I have the book, but would rather listen to this one.) Anyway, I think I'm on just beginning #3 of 10 CDs, and so far - it's just okay. It's really a character study of the main participants in the Battle of Gettysburg - with more focus on the rebel side. It's going to take a lot to live up to Manhunt (Swanson), which was my last historical listen. However, it was true. TKA is fiction, but based on facts. I'm hoping it gets better. I look forward to what you think if you choose to read it.
ReplyDeleteI also have Widow of the South on my TBR Shelf. I'm not so sure I'm interested - right now that is. Let me know how it goes.
Danielle ~ Oops! Not that it will matter, but for accuracy sake, there are 12 CDs, not 10.
