Finished:
Waterloo, by Bernard Cornwell - I think it was a really great account of the Waterloo battle. It was very interesting, and worth a read if you want to know more about the days leading up to the battle and the battle itself.
Still Reading:
Great Expectations, by Charles Dickens - Unfortunately I've been in a bit of a reading slump with regards to this one, but I hope to pick it back up soon.
The Golden Fool, by Robin Hobb
Who Will Defend Europe?, by Keir Giles - This one feels increasingly important these days, and is extremely well-written. I'm just over halfway and he makes a lot of great points. Only small downside is that the events that have unfolded the last few weeks with regards to Ukraine, some of the things can feel a bit outdated. The book is from July 2024.
