Recent acquisitions:
📖 Henry V: The Astonishing Triumph of England's Greatest Warrior King by Dan Jones
📖 South East England (Ancient Peoples and Places) by Ronald Jessup
pickI finished this audio history book a few days ago. Dan Jones writes the most lively books! This one completes his Medieval English history trilogy and connects The Plantagenets and The Wars of the Roses. I wish Dan Jones narrated more books because he‘s so engaging to listen to! Highly recommend!!
pick05/100 Dan Jones never fails to entertain and educate. If you want to understand English History this is the author to read. Like Mary Beard with Roman History, Jones work is full of details, from major events like the Battle of Agincourt to seemingly minor things that had a big impact of Henry before he became King. Henry V was a complex man, full of contradictions, he was pious and religious, but he was also cruel, easily angered, and vengeful.
This was a Christmas present that I bought for myself. I wanted to wait until the new year before diving in. Dan Jones is one of my favorite history writers.
What a wonderful #Jolabokaflodswap package from @Jess ! The book from my wishlist AND a bonus book from my TBR! Plus a pile of chocolate and a beautiful bookmark. Thank you so much, Jess! Happiest of holidays to you and your family. 🙂 And much gratitude and holiday joy to @MaleficentBookDragon for organizing. 😘
Always appreciate the opportunity to see Shakespeare live. This play is a favorite!
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!
