Help me pick

So, weirdly, one of the hotel points membership thingys I belong to gives me a free Kindle book/story twice a year. Which one do I pick from this list?

Is the North and South thing the old John Jakes trilogy? Just wondering.

I... I think maybe the only one of those I would even open is Thor.

1. Yup.

2. I'm sort of vaguely intrigued by Phoenix, not because of anything the story might hold, but because it's by Mark Dawson, who's parlayed self-publishing (and selling classes on self-publishing) into a seven-figure-per-year business. There's also the first of the Miss Silver mysteries--over the past few months I've had 2 different Miss Silver mysteries recommended to me, although I can't remember where or by who because I just send the sample to my Kindle and then forget about it until months later, when I finally read it and decide whether or not to move it to my "Possible Purchase" category.

3. Alas, I don't deal well with comics on the Kindle, even on the Kindle app on my iPad. They're one of the things that really require a handheld paper copy for me.

"Mussolini's Arctic Airship" Wait what?

Here it is on Amazon. A lot of reviews sort of disappointed that it's a magazine article and not a full book. :)

An understandable reaction!
