I see you found another Eleanor related book... [grin] Cool!
ReplyDeleteOnly 4 from me this week - all non-fiction - but next week I have a scheduled visit to my large supermarket (which sells books) plus my trip into 'town' to get my 2nd vaccine shot. So... bookshops! But for *this* week:
Humankind - A Hopeful History by Rutger Bregman
How to Make the World Add Up - Ten Rules for Thinking Differently About Numbers by Tim Harford
The Art of Resistance - My Four Years in the French Underground by Justus Rosenberg
Into the Silence - The Great War, Mallory and the Conquest of Everest by Wade Davis
I am definitely interested in the Rosenberg book. I am a week behind in responding but I have posted my Stacking the Shelves for this week so by now you are already typing up your gargantuan list of new treasures I'm sure...
DeletePlantagenet Princes looks like something I would find interesting. I'll look forward to your thoughts on it once you've read it.
ReplyDeleteIt is slow going at times, so much has NOT been about the boys so far. Kind of disappointing but I am going to finish it anyway and hopefully it gets better from here and sticks to the topic at hand!
Deleteeclectic!
ReplyDeleteIt was a very interesting week
DeletePlantagenet Princes Sounds really good!
ReplyDeleteIt's okay far, but so much in the beginning wasn't even about the boys and started way back with the White Ship and all that. I feel like anyone looking for more info about Eleanor's sons already would know that history. I am going to continue on anyway though, as we are finally talking about Henry the Young King.
DeleteAmerican Terrorist was really good.
ReplyDelete@Cyberkitten: I saw that "Hopeful History" on Amazon. Will be interested whenever you review it..
It'll be a while but I enjoyed his previous book so have pretty good hopes for this one. It'll be nice to read something *positive* about Humanity for a change! [grin]
DeleteStephen - Honestly, it was hard to get through sometimes for me, and a lot of those parts tended to be about his childhood and early years. I get that obviously the book is about him but it sometimes felt that the author was trying to generate at least marginal bits of empathy for him. He's a monster and deserved to be executed for his crimes. The only person I felt so terribly for was his dad.
DeleteCK - take all the positivity where you can get it, because right now we are really in a mess!
