This children’s book is perfect ! The art and text are amazing. Author Dave Eggers and artist Júlia Sardà spin a quirky historical event into a whimsical and tall-ish true tale of human ingenuity. Highly recommended if your child has a hard time reading nonfiction or history books.

I started a new #book today: "Aelfreds Britain". A #history of King Aelfred and successors efforts to adapt and survive incursions of the #Vikings into #Britain . Having an interest in things Viking, and being of Scottish / English descent, I think I'm going to really enjoy this book.

📘 Anita Buhin published a book — "Yugoslav Socialism „Flavoured with Sea, Flavoured with Salt”" — where she explores the "Mediterranization" in socialist Yugoslavia during the 1950s and 1960s, which was largely shaped by Italian cultural influences and in which Croatia played an extremely important role.

My Ham radio call is Wa0uWW, but then this is not radio! :) Lately I have been reading nonfiction history books that focuses mainly on the last 200 years. Perhaps someone knows of some good #historybooks for earlier periods that I should dive into?

Great visit & chat with writer & broadcaster James Crawford.

We have signed copies of his new Wild History: Journeys into Lost Scotland, just out from excellent Scottish Indy publisher Birlinn Books.

Hi everyone 😀 I've been gone for a while, but I haven't stopped reading! I finished The Lady in the Tower a few weeks ago; I found it incredibly informative and well written. It was also a riveting read - a lot of authors have trouble writing history in a rich, illustrative fashion and the books often come out far too dry. Alison Weir is an excellent novelist and historian, however, and so this book was actually fun to read.

📙 O mais recente livro de Luís Farinha, dedicado à aldeia de Sipote, vai ser lançado na Casa da Cultura da Sertã no dia 25 de Março.

Terá apresentação de Raquel Pereira Henriques e actuação do Rancho Folclórico e Etnográfico de Cernache do Bomjardim.

Got some new books, both by Alison Weir: The Lady in the Tower & The Wars of the Roses. I love Tudor history and so these will be exciting to read 😄

YORK FACTORY EXPRESS JOURNAL, 1826:
"Along our days Track the country presented a very sterile appearance, hardly a Tree to be seen & only a parch'd like grass forming a thin covering over its surface, with a confused heap of Detached Rocks strewed over it. But the singular apeparance in these ridges of Hills intersecting the Country, curiously arranged in Tabular Masses, one above the other, each base forming a horizontal line distinctly defined... #WAHistory #HistoryBooks #Nonfiction #History

#FridayReads #books #HistoryBooks #mythology #bookstodon. I am currently reading two books. The history is “An Alternative History of Britain The Tudors” by Timothy Venning. The second is a short story and poetry anthology about Baba Yaga, “Into the Forest: Tales of the Baba Yaga” edited by Lindy Ryan. The first is a bit dry and the second a bit creepy, so I am bouncing between them.
