Was about to pull the hoover out. #BookMail saved me. 😜
Unfortunately this is not a yellow cover. I might have to extend the #YellowNFShelf into a #YellowAndOrangeNFShelf - doesn't have quite the same ring to it though. 🤔
AnishaInkspill this looks interesting, I had a look, wow over 900 pages but added to my wish list 3mo
julesG @AnishaInkspill it is a door stopper, but I'm actually looking forward to reading it. It's a part of history that wasn't really covered in school or uni. I did a lot on the Antiquity, the Middle Ages and then anything after the French Revolution. It's time to catch up on the Medici and Borgias and... 3mo
AnishaInkspill @julesG this does looks like a very interesting read, and also my kind of read, it's impressive what you have covered, wow!!!, in comparison I haven't done as much but I am really enjoying the journey. 3mo

julesG @AnishaInkspill Trust me, I wasn't too happy about the list of compulsory courses while at uni, but I'm glad that I was forced to cover this wide spectrum of European history now. Growing up in Germany meant I was confronted by some parts of history wherever I went. A castle here, a renowned uni there, a formerconcentration camp in the next town, a medieval bridge with houses on in the next town over... And I asked so many questions 😁 3mo
catsuit_mango I am really curious about that book, I loved the Terra Ignota series and loved even more see Ada Palmer (and Jo Watson) conversation in my town, she is funny and full of the kind of weird knowledge that I enjoy. 3mo
julesG @catsuit_mango I haven't read her fiction yet, but the non-fiction (first two chapters) is good so far 3mo
