Fire from Heaven (Alexander the Great, #1) | 
bailedI'm not feeling this one right now. I suspect I added it to my TBR for my kids at some point because it's more their thing than mine. Maybe I'll revisit it at some point, but I'm setting it aside for now. One down for #Roll100! Not a very satisfying way to mark it off, but it does get it off my TBR.
pickI'd never read a novel about Alexander the Great before this. I quite enjoyed it. This is the first in a trilogy, so it mainly dealt with his early life. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

Reading in bed.
I‘d love to take a nice photo of the book but they REALLY DO NOT WANT YOU TO FORGET THAT IT‘S AN INTERLIBRARY LOAN!
I‘m starting the Alexander the Great trilogy.

I was debating choosing this one for #Macedonia #readingeurope2020 but went with a shorter book. Of course today it goes on sale.
History has always been a subject I‘ve enjoyed so this weeks #unreadandontheshelf is selection of history books mostly but the one I‘m most interested in is Roseblood because it is supposed to be a Phantom of the Opera retelling. And that‘s one of my favorite broadway shows (and movie).
Starting my last book for #charmsextracredit
I still have about half of Harley Quinn Hot in the City but I needed something different...

One more from the Louvre:) The Winged Victory of Samothrace was built to honor the Goddess of war, Niki.
Does anyone else love ancient Greek history?
On that note, here is a quote from Renault's excellent book on Alexander the Great:"They had not believed in him before he came; when they saw him, they believed still less; but when they watched the war-scarred faces of warriors forty years old, intent on his every word, they believed at last"
From Alexander to Hadrian. I missed putting Yourcenar's wonderful book in there too. #seasonsreadings2016 #fictionnonfictionpairing
A few of my favourite. All are masters in telling an amazing story. Special mention to Barbara Tuchman's The Guns of August which is one of the most important WW1 history you will ever read. #septphotochallenge #womenwriters
