No hard plans to get these b/c I'm poor but I would like to get my hands on Essays Analytic and Anglican from Eerdmans and The Bible and Farm Animal Welfare from cascade.

Crusaders-Dan Jones
Henry V-Dan Jones
Oathbreakers-David Perry & Matthew Gabriele
Children of Ash and Elm-Neil Price
The Last Viking-Don Holloway
