“I think it‘s time to recruit the most dangerous man in these halls,” she said.
Trig looked back up to the Hall of Songs, the Shahiid they‘d just fled from.
“I thought we just ran away from the most dangerous man in these halls?”
Mia tried to smile.
Settled for shaking her head.
“You‘ve obviously not spent enough time with librarians, Don Tric.”

A pretty accessible work on the beginning of the end of the Roman Republic. Adapted from a podcast (I listened to the audio). It made me want to listen to SPQR again!

Lindy @helgagrace SPQR has so much in it, I‘m sure I would retain new things with every re-listen. 7y
RamsFan1963 I have this in my non-fiction TBR stack, I'm glad it's interesting. I read SPQR awhile back. 7y

One of the better books I‘ve read that feature online trolls as antagonists. Lots of geeky references! Romance! But also very anxiety-inducing.
