Caio Giulio Cesare: Le porte di Roma-Il soldato di Roma | 
I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it. Some will be old, some will be new - don't judge me, I have a lot of books.
Day 142th
Join the fun if you want!

pickThis was a re-read for me before I read the rest of the series. A very readable book which was a joy to read, setting the early life of Julius Caesar into context. Good action, good dialogue and great flow within the story. A must read for any historical fiction fan, Conn Iggulden does such a great job with his writing. A real pleasure to read his books. Now to continue with the series while I have all the characters in mind. #24B4Monday
The end of Day 1 of the #24B4Monday Readathon and clocked up 5hrs 24 mins and 367 pages. It was a work day but had hoped to get to 6 hours so a bit of catching up to do.
Spent all reading time today on the Emperor series by Conn Iggulden, and a very enjoyable time it was.
Started listening to the first book in the Emperor series by Conn Iggulden whilst I continue with #40miles20hours. Only counting the audiobook listening I am doing whilst walking.
On day 3 I did 1.16 miles, less than yesterday, and listened for 24 minutes whilst walking. Brings overall total to 3.33 miles and 1 hr 9 mins.
so-soIf I would have read this as a traditional book I would have bailed after the first 100 pages (that's the point where I usually evaluate if I should continue with the book). As an audio book this worked better. Especially the fighting scenes gave nicely energy for my evening jogging. The story wasn't really that interesting for me but maybe I'll try the second book as well since it's set in Egypt. That might be interesting. We'll see. 🤔
pickThe first book of Conn Iggulden‘s Emperor series about Julius Caesar. We meet Caesar as a boy, known as Gaius, and follow him as he grows and makes his way to Rome. A lot of political turmoil and a few battles. It was not the most thrilling of Iggulden‘s novels but I think this is a good start for telling this mammoth story and I‘m already onto the next and loving it!
pick1st in the emperor series. Best historical fiction writer out there.
Finally starting this book which I have had for years! Doing it on both audiobook (during the week‘s commute) and physical book around the commute. Expect to enjoy this! #MountTBR #YearoftheChunkster
Last day of #decklife before the husband and kids go back to school. I‘ll miss this vibe.
1. I‘m going with the tagged series of historical novels about Julius Caesar 2. A well-made soup 3. House is my all time fav 4. #moosemoose @tournevis @dixi_e
Final used bookstore #bookhaul of 2017. 😊
Some recent #bookmail that was another #blameitonlitsy purchase. 😃
I may have mentioned once or a hundred times that I love historical fiction. I also love Roman history, so this is moving right up my tbr.

Conn Iggulden is one of my favorite historical fiction authors. I have not read his series on #juliuscaesar, but I definitely want to.
