Soothingly completely unrelated to anything I'm normally interested in. Has black-and-white images which helps illustrate the features of the churches it talks about.

Some poor editing (sentences don't make sense, spelling mistakes), it jumped out at me quite a bit. Did also jump around a bit, sometimes mentioning a new term randomly, only defining it a few pages (or chapters) later.

Making good progress on #10BeforeTheEnd.

This is soothingly slow and focused on small, mildly interesting details which I don't have to remember if I don't want to, which is making it the ideal reading for me today, it seems.

But, with two hours estimated to go to finish it, I won't be finishing it tonight and have to go to bed. Boo.

I found this one at Pioneer Book, a cool indie in Provo, Utah, a couple years ago.

While I don't much care for the British monarchy these days, Diana's death occured around the time I was discovering my anglophilia as a teenager and it had a big effect on me. It's strange to think back on that time now.

This is an interesting overview over the different conquests Britain had to endure or was taking. I enjoyed it very much because it‘s not writen in a highly theoretical way, but more jovial. I do not know tge Horribke Histories series of this author, but after reading this one I will order them for sure.

kezzlou85 Horrible histories is all about various times through history but it finds the gruesome and gross stuff. So it engages kids in history. It does teach a lot though. They had a TV series and my daughter can now tell you the order of kings and Queens from start to finish. 2mo
