We were able to cap off a fantastic weekend by going on a hike to the top of Blomidon to try and work off all the Apple Crisp and Cider we’ve been putting down range. But I also took the opportunity to let @twilight_leigh channel her inner Vanna by helping me get a snap shot of this month’s books. She was a good sport about it 😘 October’s books included #18 and #19 of the Sharpes series, ‘Sharpe’s Siege’ where Sharpe is besieged in a ruined fortress outside Bordeaux on foolhardy naval excursion, and ‘Sharpe’s revenge’ where he and his riflemen track down and get his revenge on influential French officer Pierre Ducos. Also read this month was Steven Pressfield’s ‘Gates of Fire’ about the Spartan’s at Thermopylae and Karl Marlantes’ ‘Matterhorn’ about a Marine Infantry platoon at the height the of Vietnam War. Both books have been heavily featured on @kill.z0n3 ‘s page as of late. They are incredibly profound books and they certainly should be required reading for all Service Personnel! And finishing off this month was a semi autobiography of Navy SEAL Admiral William McRaven as a follow up to his ‘Make Your Bed’ self-help book. Overall a very successful month of reading! Looking forward to getting some more pages down range as the days get shorter and the weather gets colder 👌🍂! #blomidon #hike #bookstagram #octoberreads #covidreads #AppleCrisp #applecider #bernardcornwell #sharpessiege #sharpesrevenge #gatesoffire #stevenpressfield #matterhorn #karlmarlantes #seastories #williammcraven #girlfriend #pose #wannabevannawhite (at Blomidon Provincial Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHELn14HntJVsqeG5g0KjbLcUaMgaeUoD-FjmM0/?igshid=1wlwae296joow
