I am determined to do that which I didn't succeed at last year...read 100 books. I am a third of the way there at a quarter of a year.
For what its worth, "Swan Song" was great!!!!!!! "The Passage" was also pretty darn good (slow in some parts, but worth it) and shows much promise as I understand it will be a trilogy. "Swan Song" is very "The Stand"-ish, but has its own charm. You will most likely really enjoy it. Though it ain't King!!!!! Still a really good read. mcGammon is a really good author!!!! IMHO
28 in 23 (?)!!!!
63 in '23!!!!!!!!!!

The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
I did enjoy Swan Song. That's my list of books I've read so far this year.
