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.

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
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
