Fire in the Hole

Since this is the first day of March, it's also the first day of Women's History Month and I love that one to pieces, goddammit! It always springs great articles all over the English speaking internet and I read my first one today: General Remembers Her 'Different' Military Days. I think I'll read Women in the Wars: I've Lived Out There With The Guys' and Silver Star Recipient a Reluctant Hero tomorrow and I also still have to read Female correspondents' code of silence, finally broken.

In regard to books, I'll probably leave Steel Boats, Iron Hearts: The Wartime Saga of Hans Goebeler and U-505 (I'm pretty sure I said that before but... that's the German submarine put on display in Chicago and the one my grandfather served on in WWII) be for another couple of weeks, in favor of finally reading Kate Adie's Into Danger: Risking Your Life For Work and working my way through Sense and Sensibility, after I finish John Birmingham's Final Impact (which, by the way, is part of his Axis of Time trilogy and more importantly features extraordinarily strong, vivid and lovable female characters... but yeah, I love that series to pieces, anyway). It's gonna be such a busy month reading wise (and I just had a look at my amazon wishlist and there might be some books I really can't wait to order) but if anyone of you has any suggestions, I'll gladly take them. Everything that's Women's History (and yeah, especially things military and war/foreign correspondents related will be favored very much, along with anything on female explorers) will be appreciated and at least put on the amazon wishlist ;) Give it to me, people!

Edit: OMG, I totally forgot that I still have Eleanor Roosevelt's autobiography to read. I have to finish it this month!

Und ich dachte, ich müsste nur drei Rezensionen schreiben... hat sich was.

( 'New York, New York...' - 'Die Prinzessinnen von New York: Ballgeflüster', Anna Godbersen )

( 'Um der Ehre Willen...' - 'Einundzwanzigster Juli', Anne C. Voorhoeve )

( 'In the Shadows...' - 'Der Schattengänger', Monika Feth )

( 'Das geht aber auch besser' - 'Band of Sisters: American Women at War in Iraq', Kirsten A. Holmstedt )

Ich hab ja gesagt, dass es demnächst Rezensionen geben wird. Für die puns mach ich dann aber doch lieber n eigenes Posting, das wird hier sonst zu lang (weil heute ausnahmsweise mal vier Rezensionen). On a sidenote: Ich hab angefangen, "The Princess Bride" (oooh, schaut mal, die Schwestern haben mir damals eine Ausgabe mitgebracht, die jetzt vergriffen ist... wie cool is das denn bitte?) noch mal zu lesen, weil ich mich mit ständigen Bezügen und Andeutungen in meinen Lorne/Cadman-Fanfictions selber dazu angestachelt hab und das Buch ist noch dreimal toller, als es in meiner Erinnerung war

Okay, jetzt aber auf ins Rezensionenland:

So, da wäre ich mal wieder. Und schon wieder die puns nicht gepostet. Ich lasse nach. Na ja, dafür zwei neue Rezensionen. Und die puns der letzten drei Tage auch.



Und hier dann noch die fehlenden Wortspiele:

#16:

"I have developed a major interest in Season 5 of Stargate Atlantis."

#17:

"A certain officer is suddenly taking over a major part of my Stargate stories."

#18:

"Today my major goal is just to hang around and finish things I have been neglecting for far too long."
