Sorry about 'Saladin', but I have added the Jewish mobsters to my Wish List - so there's that.... Just two historical fiction from me this week:
ReplyDeleteClytemnestra by Costanza Casati
Henry VIII - The Heart and the Crown by Alison Weir
But are you, really? lol
DeleteAnd what have I told you about Alison Weir!!!! Or is it only Phillipa Gregory I have raged about to you?
*Mostly* Gregory...., but a little Weir too...! [grin]
DeleteUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH...I would not have such a problem with Weir if she cted her sources. But she does not anymore which is incredibly weird. Just becaue you have been a historian for a long time, doesn't mean you get to stop doing part of the job. Her book on Eleanor of Aquitaine is ridiculous, no footnotes, NOTHING. But at least she is not Philippa Gregory.
DeleteOoh, it might sound weird, but The Lost Subways of North America really catches my eye -- I love histories about surprising things. Hope you enjoy all these!
ReplyDeleteYes! I love these weird kinds of books. I read another one in the last couple months about NYC's subway system by John E. Morris. It was SO interesting!
DeleteSubways I bet is super interesting
ReplyDeleteI think it will be, you know I love weird stuff like this
DeleteThat's quite a collection of books!
ReplyDeleteAnd so many are from my TBR! I am so sproud of me! lol
DeleteThat is quite the book haul. Hope you enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteNice library haul and great that some were already on your TBR. The Memoir set in Cleveland looks intriguing, especially since we live pretty close to Cleveland now.
ReplyDeleteThe last three in the top row are all about the women who Ariel Castro kidnapped and held for years. It's such an awful story, but an important one and I am glad the women were able to write their own story themselves. It will be interesting to see how it compares to the one written by an outsider of the events.
