Books From The Backlog #64

 

Books from the Backlog, hosted by Carole's Random Life in Books, is a fun way to feature some of those neglected books sitting on your shelf unread.

I am featuring books in the order that they were added to my Goodreads To-Read shelf, so sometimes there will be a couple weeks in a row of books on the same topic.

Neglected Book of the Week

Why did I add The Story of England to my TBR?

Because I love England's history. Especially when it goes back to Roman Britain. I don't think this one goes back that far, but I bet I will get some Anglo-Saxon goodness at least.

Have you read this book, or is it somewhere on your TBR? If you've read it, would you recommend it to others?

Happy Reading!

Would You Rather... | #25

I began posting this back in 2018 and thought I would bring it back, given that my motivation to blog has returned with force. You might recognize some from prior use, but I am changing up which ones are paired together to give a variety of choices.

There's no real criteria or guidelines. Choose the nook you would love most if given a choice, justify it however you'd like.

Nook A

Nook B

Which one do you love most?

Monday Meme #31

I am reviving this little feature after eight years. You might see a couple recycled from when I did this in 2016, but they were funny then and they are still funny now. Occasionally they will be more introspective or comforting. No matter what, they will be about reading and books.

I am what you might call an "indoor girl".

Happy Reading!

First Line Friday #171

First Line Friday is a weekly feature and simple to do - grab the book nearest you and post the first line. Carrie hosts this over on her blog Reading is my Superpower.

This book comes with no apology. I am not here to convince you that it is high time we put women back at the centre of history. Many have done this before me. I am also not here to draw dividing lines between male and female, to stress the importance of each in opposition to each other. Instead, I want to show you that there are so many ways to approach history now. Far from being unrecoverable, developments in archaeology, advancements in technology and an openness to new angles have made medieval women ripe for rediscovery.

Happy Reading!

Why did I add Six Tycoons to my TBR?

Because Gilded Age NYC is one of my loves and I can't get enough.

Have you read this book, or is it somewhere on your TBR? If you've read it, would you recommend it to others?

Spell the Month in Books | March

I am FINALLY getting around to this one, which is hosted by Jana @ Reviews from the Stacks. I have seen Marianne do this one forever and keep saying I would start...and then forget because, well, I don't know.

It's really easy. Just find book titles which spell the month in question. Jana does post optional themes for the months, if you like having that guide. I will not be using them, as themes are usually harder to do with non-fiction.

All of these are from my TBR, so hopefully it is yet another way for me to focus on that.

Happy Reading!
