A History of Modern Europe | 
pickFinally finished this at our #booksandcoffee morning. Excellent general history of Europe from the Renaissance through the Napoleonic era. I got exactly what I was looking for. May take a break until I tackle volume two

I‘m going to have to find a new book for #coffeeandbooks with hubby very soon. Only about 40 pages left in this one. It will definitely be nonfiction, probably a history. Any suggestions?
After missing several weeks, it‘s great to get back to #coffeeandbooks with hubby. We did two miles on the local fitness trail first, so the blasting AC in Panera feels really good.

1. I am woefully behind on my Goodreads goal this year, and I have a trip next month that will be wonderful but will probably be a no-reading week. So my two main reading goals are to finish the tagged book and to do our annual buddy read with @ValerieAndBooks which I hope we‘ll start very soon.
2. Lose 5 pounds and make my Fitbit exercise goal every week.

First chance that hubby and I have had to enjoy #coffeeandbooks since before the hurricane threat. I‘m going to need to get volume 2 of this soon. Only 3 chapters left.
I‘ve worked my way up to the Enlightenment. Since I only read this for #coffeeandbooks with hubby, I‘m pretty pleased with my progress. A lot of what I read today, which also covered the scientific revolution, overlaps with a Great Courses lecture series on science and religion that we are currently watching. It‘s interesting to compare perspectives.
Remember the old movie, If It‘s Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium? Well, I feel like, if it‘s Tuesday, Lynn and hubby must be out for #booksandcoffee 😂
Happy 4th! Since I‘m still in recovery mode, it‘s a very low key day around here. Decided to do a much overdue #booksandcoffee outing, although I‘m not sure that European history is the usual reading choice for the 4th of July😄
After all the craziness of last week, it‘s nice to get back to a regular schedule and our weekly #booksandcoffee l‘m making a lot of progress through this history. Spending the morning learning more about the Thirty Years‘ War.
#booksandcoffee Early morning checkup with blood work at the doctor‘s office this morning meant our #booksandcoffee was breakfast today. I have made it to 16th century France so far😊
This week has been crazy, and our#booksandcoffee date is usually earlier in the week. But we decided we really needed our favorite time together. Nice way to start a Friday!
#booksandcoffee with this monster today. I think this will take a while 😂
I‘m continuing my study of European history to complement what I learned as a music history major. Thanks to @RamsFan1963 and the gift card I won in his giveaway, I got this book that was recommended as a follow up to the Renaissance history that I read last. However, I can‘t remember the last time I saw a book with print this small 😄 I will be reading this for a long time.
