Not a bad haul this year. The two fiction (below) I was after as I've read and enjoyed other books by this author. The Cambrai book may relate to a battlefield visit and'or game while the rather scholarly tome will yield more information on a country I visited three times in 2017 and want to know more about.
How did you do by comparison?
I got myself a XMAS book with a voucher pressie.

Reputedly a good book.
Have you read Geoffrey Parker's "Dutch Revolt"? Absolutely brilliant and reduced me to tears

On the book present side...er..."Paths of Glory" and the two latest Asterix books by the new writing team.
I'd be interested in your opinions on the Harvey Black novels as they sound interesting but I was a a bit lukewarm on his Red/blue/black effect series.

ReplyDeleteI rather enjoyed the earlier series. So far (c70 pages) so good with this one.
Thanks Tim I may give them a go on kindle then. I really liked the Red Effect one but it was the two sequels I was less keen on.

Pete.
Happy New Year!
