A very belated update to the list

I haven't updated this in such a long time that I'm not sure I'll remember all the books I read but here it goes in list form:

  15. Jeffery Monmouth's a History of the King's of Britain - A good read for English History Buffs and King Arthur lovers.
  16. Xenocide by Orson Scott Card - This is the book following Speaker for the Dead. I enjoyed it but there was quite a bit of quasi-religious themes some of which were troubling.
  17. G. A. Henty's Winning his Spurs, A Tale of the Crusades this is a historical fiction novel written well by G. A. Henty. The plot is fairly straightforward, the characters behave as expected but its still a fun tale of a boy winning his knight's spurs in the crusades by King Richard I's side.
  18. The King's Speech by Mark Logue and Peter Conradi - This is a book written seperately from the movie by the same name that won Best Picture. It's mainly written by the grandson of the man who helped cure George VI of his debilitating stutter. He was consulted on the movie and that spurred him to write this book, which reads as a duel biography of both Lionel Logue and King George VI.

Still behind schedule to read 100 books this year. Must catch up.......
