We have one of these threads every month in the History Fans group, but I suspect there wouldn't be enough activity month to month in this group, so I thought I'd start a thread that covers the whole of the year.
First up, I just completed The Last Outlaws: The Desperate Final Days of the Dalton Gang by Tom Clavin. A reasonably good book in the narrative style that Clavin has demonstrated in previous books. As in the other books, the main event, the botched robbery of two banks in Coffeyville KS, occupies only a small part of the book. The rest is the background of the Daltons and those associated with them, the lawmen who pursued them and what happened afterwards. Rather light however on any overall look at their times. Recommended if you like Clavin's other books.

I'm currently reading Larry McMurtry: A Life I'm interested in his writing, book selling, and book collecting. I'm about a third of the way through.

Re-reading (for research) The Unregimented General. A Biography of Nelson A. Miles by Virginia W. Johnson. Interesting man was Gen. Miles.
