A much more reasonable FIVE from me this week - with one in the post.
ReplyDeleteFiction:
The Pull of the Stars by Emma Donoghue
Non-Fiction:
Why the Germans Do it Better - Notes from a Grown-Up Country by John Kampfner
Victorious Century - The United Kingdom 1800-1906 by David Cannadine
The Origins of the Anglo-Saxons - Decoding the Ancestry of the English by Jean Manco
In the Land of Giants - Journeys Through the Dark Ages by Max Adams
I have the book about the Germans on my TBR pile now, looking forward to it.
DeleteCK - much more reasonable indeed. Yet even then, here's two more I am adding to my TBR - Anglo-Saxons and Dark Ages. YOU KNOW I can never resist those two topics!
DeleteMarianne - I am interested to see your thoughts on this book in addition to CK's.
DeleteDon't worry, as soon as I've read it, I'll write a review!
DeleteWonderful!
DeleteLooks like a good haul! I bounced off Mark Kurlansky's Salt, but I can't remember why now... and I've been wanting Death by Shakespeare and The Rape of the Nile for a while now!
ReplyDeleteMy weekly roundup & STS post.
Salt was okay for me but not stellar. Death by Shakespeare was AMAZING! The Rape of the Nile was also fantastic. I've got those two reviews posted already:

Spontaneous looks fun- I alwasy wondered when people just randomly blow up. :) And Ancient World mysteries...
ReplyDeleteIt was a unique read, CK was right to be unsure of how to classify it. I liked it well enough, but it was not spectacular. I will get my review up at some point soon!
DeleteSome great books there, I'm especially interested in the ones about Shakespeare, they sound like just down my road.
ReplyDeleteI really liked both of them, I think you will also!
