I‘m addicted to English history! Peter Ackroyd provides a survey that alternates chapters of ordinary life with monarchs. I enjoyed the narrator of the audiobook and plan to listen to the remaining 5 volumes in Ackroyd‘s History of England series! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Oops... We bought books in July because we were on vacation. I have no idea what happened this month. #augusthaul #augustphotochallenge

I love seeing all the #recommendsday picks! Here is mine: If you want a readable but thorough dive into English history, this is the series for you. Foundations covers the period from prehistory to the start of the Tudor period. At least 3 books are now out and I can't recommend them enough.

Gezemice Cool! Love history but I mostly know the Tudors from British history - they are attention hogs... Thanks for the recommendation! 8y
Jessicav @Gezemice They absolutely are. I haven't read that volume yet, but am thinking its time. They deserve the attention, but I'm also excited to get past them. I did my undergrad in history so it's sort of like a comfort read, but also full of new information. 8y

My next read!! “Letters are signs of things, symbols of words, whose power is so great that without a voice they speak to us the words of the absent; for they introduce words by the eye, not by the ear.” Isidore of Seville

I never used to be a reader of anything but fiction. But let me tell you I read Hamilton and then it's just open the door for so many other books! Foundation is absolutely exquisite. Rich and full of so much history. I just can't get enough! Plus it's a series so there's more books! Yippee! #England #History #nonfiction

MrBook Ooh, I want to read this one! Nice pic! 😊👍🏻 8y
