What kind of stuff do you all read?

[newby to BP]

I love reading WW2 fiction based on facts. I get all of my books through Kindle unlimited. You can borrow up to 10 books. No having to go to the library or the store just browse what they have available on unlimited and down load it. I use to have a bunch of books until I moved but donated them to the library.

Yup, I can totally relate to that! When we moved to Missouri in 2020, I took 5 fruit boxes full of books to local library. Was going to take more, but librarian told me no, she didn't have enough storage room for them!!

I highly recommend the Joe Pickett series by C.J. Box. It's about a WY game warden. Fictional but some events revolve around real events and places. The author is from Cheyenne so as a base to write from.

Speaking of C. J. Box and Joe Pickett, did you happen to watch the series on TV. Waiting for next season to start, hopefully.

I'm a bit of a science geek. I like to read PubMed articles on nutrition and fitness. I used to devour historical fiction, espionage, and murder mystery. Right now I'm trying to get back into reading for pleasure again. Some of my favorite authors were/are John Grisham, Nelson Demille, Richard Marcinko, Pat Conroy, etc. I also recently got into leadership books, especially anything by Jocko Wilink.

One of my favorites in the "Chet and Bernie series" Narrated by Chet, the dog. Really fun! New York best seller. It really seems like a dog is thinking and helping his partner, Bernie the detective. I fell in love with the first book, "Dog Gone It," Got so into it I have read 13 books in the series. Here is the first

My most interesting is the website "German Hunting Guns" wonderful history about German gun makers back to 1751 when Sauer and Sohn opened his first store. Still making guns. Many others. Not only about guns and makers but a wonderful array of cartridges.

I usually only read posts from all the knowledgeable muzzleloader shooters on here! I know we're all experts in our field but we can all learn for each other. I've been doing this muzzleloader stuff since the early 70s and I'm still learning. Now I have a new venture with smokeless muzzleloading and having a blast.

The Joe Pickett series on Paramount+ was interesting, but the main character, Joe Pickett, was portrayed as being kind of wimpy rather than a real hard-ass like in the books. The books were a lot better.

Im surprised no one has mentioned the longmire series
Theres also the Mike Bowditch serious by Paul Dorian and Maine game warden
Jack Carr has a series thats outstanding Amazon is doing a series on it called the Terminal list
Im also waiting on the Tony hillerman books in the libby library app. All i listen to is audiobooks and it gets expensive buying them.
And the Joe Pickett books are great, the tv series absolutely sucked didn't do the books justice, thankfully i think it didnt get renewed.

For fans of historical fiction, I would recommend Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin books (the popular Master and Commander movie with Russell Crow was loosely based on the books). A great storyteller, O'Brian's writing brings readers into the day-to-day lives of early 19th century sailors and civilians. I'm also a big fan of just about anything written by Bernard Cornwell, author of the Sharpe's Rifles series (Napoleonic War), Utred series (early medieval Britain), the Grail series (Hundred Years War).
