The Dark Ages and Other History

I have been reading so much history lately... culminating in the completion of the Jack Absolute series and The French Executioner also by C.C. Humphreys, then The Year of the Zinc Penny by Rick DeMarinis.

The French Executioner was the story of Anne Boleyn's executioner, as he makes a journey to fulfill her last request. It's a real page turner, with chapter after chapter of adventure and mystery.

The Year of the Zinc Penny is a nostalgic-type book, in which the narrator recounts a period in his childhood in which he learns about life, love, death, and war. It's set in the early 1940s. I loved it. The writing style was somewhat choppy, but it represented the narrator well... and was extremely easy to read. I consumed this in about 4 hours. Highly recommend!
