An Age Of Tyrants: Britain And The Britons, A. D. 400-600 | Christopher A. Snyder

I went overboard at the charity shop's book sale but there was a lot more choice than usual on the English book shelves. I think someone (probably American) must have moved away.
I left all the autobiographies of US politicians and business people and all the romances for others....

Birth of Modern Britain: A Journey Into Britain's Archaeological Past: 1550 to the Present | Francis Pryor

Been a long time (life stuff, you get it) but now I am in need of recs!

I'm teaching an English class to international students this summer and I am looking for book/movie/tv recommendations with "typically british" culture suitable for teens.

PuddleJumper Heartbreaker TV/graphic novel.

CBBC on BBC iPlayer will have children/teenage stuff. You can find some of them on YouTube. There are a couple of school ones. I'm too old to know the names 😅

I'll have a think about books 4mo

PuddleJumper Heartstopper - autocorrect 😅

Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging - bit old, think the film is a bit more recent

Ace of Spades - private school

Loveless/Solitude/Radio Silence - University age

Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating/Henna Wars

London Belongs to Us

Stay Another Day/Hollow Pike/Cruel Summer 4mo

Princes in the Tower: Solving History's Greatest Cold Case | Philippa Langley

pick

I don‘t know if this royal mystery is “solved” but this book puts together an interesting case. I am not an expert so mostly it just made me want to read The Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey again.

This was my #BookSpinDoubleSpin for June

William and Mary: Heroes of the Glorious Revolution | John Van der Kiste

pick

Sometimes i read a book about one historic period and it makes mention of preceding events i know next to nothing about, so then i have to read another book! This is about William of Orange and Mary, daughter of James II, who after the Glorious Revolution of 1688 became joint monarches of England. This had just the right level of detail for me - thorough but included enough personal and domestic detail to stop it being too dry. A fascinating read

Centique Background is Paleis Het Loo in Netherlands - William‘s palace. 7mo

LeahBergen This is totally my reading jam, too. 👏 7mo
