Give me a list and I go a little crazy…. 🤪

These are the books from the ToB longlist that I want to read and can hold of. I bought 8 😳 and the rest are through various library systems, digital or physical.

I also really want to read Colored Television but it‘s not cheap here, plus I‘ve put in requests on NetGalley for Model Home and Lazarus Man.

Send help….. 🤓🤪😳

Leniverse Ooh, I haven't looked at that list yet. Not sure I should 😅 now

Leniverse Ok, I looked. 🙈 Several were already on my radar, but I've added three that I hadn't heard of before to my tbr. The Book Censor's Library, The Invisible Hotel, and Lesser Ruins. In total I have read 11, have 5 more, and would like to read another 8-16 😅 now

This is going to have to be two posts…. Too many books to fit on one picture. 😬

These are the books on the ToB list that I already own and want to read.

Next, the rather extensive list of the other books from the longlist that I want to read.

Bookwormjillk I love the cover of Wolf At The Table 36m

Taking my cue from @BarbaraBB these are the ToB longlisted books that I‘ve read, in some kind of order of favourites first.

I also bailed on Glorious Exploits and hibernated Intermezzo as it wasn‘t working on audio. I‘m not going to buy it and I‘m currently on a VERY long waiting list at the library so not sure when I‘ll get to finish it.

Next I‘ll post the books that I want to read…

Sorry if I‘ve forgotten to tag anyone!

BkClubCare, Flaneurette, Megabooks, Suet624, Bookwormjillk, Chelsea.Poole

BkClubCare I am using #ToB2025_LongList but as I type that I wonder if I have the right year… ugh. Will fix if not right? (Maybe just #ToB_LongList or even w/o the hard to find underscore space 🙄 #ToBLongList ?) Tagging is always a challenge 🏷️ now

squirrelbrain @BkClubCare - they definitely call it 2025 so you‘re OK there! But #ToBlonglist is just fine I think - the shorter the better! now

squirrelbrain @sarahbarnes - forgot to tag you - sorry! 😔 now

sarahbarnes Thank you! I‘m interested in a few on your finished list that I‘m in line at the library for, too. 😊 now

Megabooks Man, I looked yesterday, and it wasn‘t there! I‘ll have to look through it today. Great graphic, Helen! now

The Martial Ethic in Early Modern Germany: Civic Duty and the Right of Arms | B. Tlusty

pick

Solid book about the martial Ethic that infused German society during the early modern era. This is an absolute must read for context if you are studying historical European martial arts.

Codex Amberger: Bibliothek Der Historischen Kampfk�nste Band 6 | Dierk Hagedorn, J. Christoph Amberger

pick

Codex Amberger is a collection of long missing illustrated plates from a medieval fight book. There are only a handful of illustrations in the found book, but they appear to lineup with other illustrations from the time period where we get treatise collected together by Paulus Hector Mair. By itself it's not much information, but as part of my growing fight book collection it adds to the overall history.

LindaLaforgeAuthor Looks like a well designed and considered publication. 3y

The Complete Renaissance Swordsman: Antonio Manciolino's Opera Nova (1531) | Tom Leoni

There is no delight comparable to that receiving a box of books long-awaited. To receive that box on a Saturday which had most unexpectedly and unavoidably turned into a workday is both delight and balm. Happy February!
