"The Venetian Ambassador commented that 'he [Oliver Cromwell] lacked nothing but the crown to appear a veritable king'. But he was not a king."

#bookreport @Cinfhen

Continued this chunkster! It's good, but very dense and slow in parts - only recommended if you're REALLY interested in the English Civil War, the Commonwealth/Protectorate and the Glorious Revolution - I haven't got to 1660 yet, but there's quite a few pages listed in the index for it!

Cuilin Looks really interesting 🤔 shall I stack it? 😬 9mo
jenniferw88 @Cuilin I would suggest a #borrownotbuy or try her other book first to see if you like her writing style (tagged) as I'm finding it a bit slow and heavy-going in places. 9mo
Cuilin @jenniferw88 thanks Jenny, I‘ll check the library. 9mo
Cinfhen Ha! This is definitely not for me!!! But I think my hubby would LOVE IT!!!! 9mo

Everything except the tagged is tentative - tagged is a definite as I have the paperback on pre-order!

Just Mercy covers 'wrongly incarcerated' and The War of Don Emanuel's Nether Parts is for 'title starts with v or w'.

KarenUK The history of love is one of my favorite books! 😍💕 1y
Cinfhen Just Mercy is SO GOOD!!!! Excellent choice!!!! 1y
BarbaraBB Thank you! I‘ve read the Chile one but am interested in the Colombia one! 1y
