I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

I definitely wouldn‘t have bought this if I knew it‘s focus was on the political history of England 🙈 it‘s fact after fact so hard to take all the information in and I wouldn‘t have got through it in print, but I found it relaxing to listen to on my walks. It‘s very dry but informative and it‘s clearly thoroughly researched and thought out. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #nonfiction2021 (free space)

I picked this up when I was in York five years ago. Whenever it is mentioned I'm in awe all over again that I stood in a place with so much history.
