I'm working on The Battles of the Coronels and the Falklands, 1914 by Geoffrey Bennett. It's a 2008 reprint of a book published in 1962. I'm at page 101. There are only 160 pages total. I should have it done by the end of the week. I'll do a full blog review when I'm done.
I also gave up reading Britain's Forgotten Wars: 19th Century Colonial Campaigns. A friend loaned me the book and I don't have enough time to even do it justice. I read Sri Lanka, 1804-1805; the Falklands, 1833; and the Maori Wars 1840s before stopping. It's interesting. Some of which I already read in Queen Victoria's Little Wars by Bryon Farwell. I could spend the rest of my life reading about Victorian colonial campaigns, lol.
Another book I started this past week was Alien vs. Alien by Gini Koch. She writes sci-fi parodies. They're campy, fun, and over the top. I'm only 100 pages in a book that about 486 pages long. I don't know when I'll finish it up. Hopefully by the middle of February 2016. I'll have another review when I'm done with it...
Later,
Blake
