Overall, this was a solid book. Slow most of the time, it's a good introduction to the entirety of Ancient Egypt's history. Of course, you'll need to read other books to get more details on each Pharoah. I appreciated the excursuses on people under the Pharaohs...

thereadingpal Although my main focus for this book was studying the general history of Ancient Egypt for an upcoming exam.
I did NOT appreciate much the snarky comments and the references to modern and contemporary History - eh. Anyway: decent read, give it a go if you want to know more about how Ancient Egypt worked. 3y

This is my #weeklyforecast 😁
I hope to finish “L'antico Egitto“ by T. Wilkinson and “Il transfert, il dono, la cura“ by M. Fabbri for the #bigjunereadathon , as well as keep reading “L'amore nell'ebraismo“ by C. Chalier and “La banalità del bene“ by E. Deaglio for the same challenge and #bookspinbingo and #americanhistoricalassociation2022readingchallenge as well as #ayearofjewishreadingchallenge

thereadingpal @Cinfhen thank you! I found that challenge on Storygraph. Joined a bit late because it started at the beginning of the Jewish new year and I joined like two days ago LOL but as I'm participating in Jewish life and starting the process of conversion to Reform Judaism, I thought it would be a good way to get deeper into it ☺️ I can share the prompts if you want! 3y

Cinfhen Sweet!! Welcome to the tribe ☺️ I have storygraph so I‘ll check it out. If I have any trouble finding it I‘ll definitely let you know. I try to read a decent amount of #JewishLit so that hashtag really caught my eye 3y

thereadingpal @Cinfhen thank you so much! And Chag Shavuot Sameach ☺️ I'm trying to read more as well, and I searched for tags on here but I'm still so new (joined 3 days ago i think) that I'm having a hard time finding the right tags xD 3y

Chrissyreadit Welcome to litsy!!! The link in my bio has info from the original #litsywelcomewagon this Ian app where it‘s good to follow as many people as you can and then unfollow or mute if it‘s not your taste- also if you look at book reviews of books you‘ve enjoyed and follow those people you will get many with similar interests. 3y

Chrissyreadit @Cinfhen thanks for the tag! 3y

thereadingpal @Chrissyreadit Thank you! I'm trying to do that, following active people and searching for books or tags that interest me. I'm still not completely at ease with the site (I'm slow with technology, shhh) but I'm working through it! 3y

TheAromaofBooks Good luck with your reading this week!! 3y

thereadingpal @TheAromaofBooks thank you! 3y

Eggs Welcome to Litsy 💗🥳📚 3y

thereadingpal @Eggs thank you! 3y

Andrew65 @Cinfhen Thanks for the tag 😊 Welcome @thereadingpal 🤗 We do two readathons a month. A 9 day Choose Your Own Goal Readathon that usually starts on the second Saturday of the month, and a four day #20in4 Readathon over the last weekend of each month. Would be great to have you join us on either. 3y

thereadingpal @Andrew65 can you explain the 20in4 more in detail to me? I've seen it around but I've not understood how it works 😅 3y

Andrew65 @thereadingpal The aim is to try to either read 20 hours or 20 chapters over the four days of the Readathon. Although it‘s very relaxed and informal so you are free to set your own time or chapter target., or just take part without a goal or target. It runs Friday - Monday inclusive. This month it will be 24th - 27th June. Main thing is just to enjoy reading books with others and share your progress over the four days by posting. (edited) 3y

thereadingpal @Andrew65 oh nice!!! I'll try to participate :D 3y

Andrew65 @thereadingpal If you want to the part, let me know and ‘I‘ll add you to the people I tag in when posting about the Readathon. All welcome 😁 3y

thereadingpal @Andrew65 please do tag me!! 3y

Andrew65 @thereadingpal Think we posted t the same time, I‘ll add you to the tags 😊 Be great to have you with us. 3y

Honestly I'm finding this book a bit slow...

The Rise and Fall of Ancient Egypt | Toby Wilkinson

How's everyone today?

This book is quite interesting but oh gosh, the names are so many and so hard to remember. I really like the fact it talks about the people under the various pharaohs and kings, though. It's often overlooked in history books.
I've got this exam on the 14th, and hopefully it'll go well :)

Early bird gets the worm!

Today I'm packed full between studying and going to physiotherapy and electrostimulation for my leg (something happened to it but I don't want to bother you with it).

🎵 Podcast: Unorthodox: The conversion episode, EP. 136

Also, would you like to see the books that have a space on my shelves? 😄

The Rise and Fall of Ancient Egypt | Toby Wilkinson

I made a list in my #bulletjournal of the books I'm #currentlyreading ... Because I keep picking things up and leaving them behind. I really meant to finish these books, and I hope I'll be able to share my opinion with you :)

What are you currently reading?

#italian #studying #bujo

GondorGirl I keep a bullet journal too! I just use it for what I read, which books are coming out soon that I'm interested in, and what books I've bought. It's such a great way to keep track of things, and I've found working on it to be very relaxing. 3y

thereadingpal @GondorGirl I started it mostly for writing purposes, but now I'm trying to personalize it with daily logs and challenges and lists. It's very relaxing indeed and so nice to see things nicely spread out xD 3y

GondorGirl @thereadingpal I'm jealous though, my handwriting is nowhere near as nice as yours! 😂 3y

thereadingpal @GondorGirl aw thank you ahahah I personally don't like my handwriting but people seem to love it 🥺😳 3y

SharonGoforth @MrBook Yeah, the Egyptian book is done well, but getting through all those dynasties can be trying reading at times 😕. Time to go back to the Plague😊 9y

MrBook 😂👍🏻 It's like trying to get through all the begats in Genesis. 9y
