The Trees by Conrad Richter
I finished this one. It is an old book...originally published in 1940...and the first of a trilogy. It's about the settling of Ohio and cutting down the old-growth forest. I have a piece of my family history somewhere, that says my great-grandmother remembers her childhood in Ohio before the old-growth trees were all cut down, so this was of personal interest to me. I also found the 1978 television miniseries on DVD at our library, and watched it this week. I will probably read the other two books in the trilogy.
The Last Kingdom by Bernard Cornwell
I just started reading this one. It has been on my Kindle for awhile. I want to read it before I watch the series.
