A book club - with a difference.

Lotus

Someone asked today if there is a book club, so I thought I'd try starting one. Not the usual type of club where everyone reads the same book - I thought we could write a synopsis of a book we've recently read, to give each other ideas for new books to read.

I have a Kindle subscription, so all of mine will be available on there for people who also subscribe.

  • im on the last 40 pages on my overlord book by max Hastings, I knew about d day, but the book has let me learn about the details that mostly get missed, it was a inevitable victory for the allies on the macro level, but the germans put up a great resistance.

    the British really didnt do all that much in the grand scheme of things, we held down the most difficult German devisions, but we really struggled with achieving the objectives we set out before the invasion, but I also belive Montgomery knew this and didnt want to make any aggressive pushes for territory in the first place, he was a officer in the firts world war and saw the damage that battles had on the male population and wanted to mitigate the losses to British soldiers by letting the Americans and their growing strength do the hard yards.

    I did find it boring and ive struggled to finish the book in the end, its the second book of his ive finished but I dont think ill be putting myself through that again, its interesting but boring, the is lots of detail but with my adhd its just hard to sit through this type of book.
