Today, we went on a trip to the local Barnes & Noble. We got some coffees, and wandered the stacks, debated on buying a new game, checked out the Legos, and found some books we’d like to buy. Here’s some of the finds we’ve added to our ‘maybe someday’ lists.

Artillerymen Series – By Taylor Anderson

Genres: Science Fiction
It’s 1847, a ship destined for the Mexican-American war gets blown off course during a storm and ends up shipwrecked on an alternate Earth.

After looking into this series, I was surprised to see that the author, Taylor Anderson, is actually a History professor, so these books sound really promising!
