A bunch of new purchases that I'll only get around to reading slowly. Still, I had some Amazon credit and why waste it on household goods when there are books to buy?

The Howard Andrew Jones edited collection of Lamb's viking and other nautically themed stories.

Bought this because Howard Jones recommended it on his site and made it sound like a blast - and it's only $1.99.

Got this because it was written by the talented Carole McDonnell and it sounds really great

I became pretty caught up with the Crusades while reading Count Bohemond. Learned about King Baldwin the Leper and his near miraculous defense of Jerusalem in 1177 and found about this book covering that battle.

Sounds fun and has a story by David West so figured it was worth a go.
