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!
