I've been called back to work from my holidays and this has been a disaster for my reading schedule.
I didn't read one page yesterday, but today l did some progress on both these books.

The Sleepwalkers is becoming so interesting now that l'm starting to disentangle the complex relationships between the different nations.

My reading stand.

I was called back to work from my holidays for an emergency today. My workmate's mothers fell and broke a leg. I had to go and cover her at the shop while she ran to the hospital.

I'm so tired l don't know whether l can read anything tonight.

Clwojick It sucks that you had to cut your weekend short, but it‘s wonderful that you were there to help out your coworker during her time of need. 5y

JazzFeathers @Scochrane26 @Clwojick l could not say no, seeing the situation. She would have done the same for me. 5y

Managed to read a bit this afternoon.
This is a very interesting book about Europe before WWI broke out. Bit dense and certainly complex, though. Not a light read. But interesting.

Andrew65 Coming along nicely. š‘¸šš‘¨ 5y

Nute I think that readathons definitely help us to push through books like these. You are an inspiration!š™š¸½ 5y

So. I suppose it's time to start my research for my next AtoZ Challenge.
I never thought l'd do it, but l'm going for WWI. To think that when l started researching 1920s Europe l thought, l'm never going to research WWI. I'm not interested in wars at all.

Louise This looks like a really interesting book. Until I read the Maisie Dobbs mysteries by Jacqueline Winspeare, I didn‘t know much at all about WWI. It‘s hard to comprehend why human beings haven‘t yet found a better way to resolve conflict whenever it arises. 5y

JazzFeathers @Louise l've only read the introduction, but it does sound very interesting. 5y
