hello, thanks for stopping by. have nice reading and nice week end!
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming by as well, happy reading!
DeleteOnly one? Well, at least it was a GOOD one.... [lol]
ReplyDelete5 for me this week (mostly non-fiction) with 2 more in the post. I'm *trying* to cut back but there are *SO* many books out there just begging for a good home environment...... [grin]
Fiction:
Troy by Stephen Fry
Non-Fiction:
How Language Works by David Crystal
Lancaster - The Forging of a Very British Legend by John Nichol
The White Ship - Conquest, Anarchy and the Wrecking of Henry I's Dream by Charles Spencer
Britain At Bay - The Epic Story of the Second World War: 1938-1941 by Alan Allport
RIGHT?! What a complete WASTE of time.
DeleteLucky you, White Ship is already on my TBR. I am interested in the language book but will await your opinion first. Linguistic books are so hit or miss for me.
I've read 'Crystal' before and he was interesting. I skimmed a bit of my recent purchase and it seems very readable.
DeleteOh, and I've just this minute posted another ancestry 'Looking Backwards' thing which should amuse/interest you! It's so weird sometimes what you find out about people you didn't even know existed just a few months ago... [grin]
I have missed those posts so much and am hoping to get back to all of them now that things will be marginally less crazy. I may give Crystal a try, if you can vouch for him that it won't be a total snoozefest.
DeleteNow that looks like one to check out!
ReplyDeleteIt ended up being awful!
Deletegreat title and it hooked me

I wish I had liked this one but it ended up being no good. I am glad you liked it better!
