#MyYearInBooks again had me focused on non-fiction, mostly on the crusades and ancient rome, but also some other topics and the occasional fiction. @goodreads

Some of the books that I liked a lot are listed below.🧵

1) "Crusading Warfare, 1097-1193" by R.C. Smail
A brief and concise introduction to the stated topic. While the book is by now a bit dated, I found it to be very readable for a non-specialist.
2) "Victory in the East: A Military History of the First Crusade" by John France

Starts a bit slowly with various campaigns in Western Europe I was not particularly interested in, but after that it was a nice in-depth presentation of the first crusade.
