GypsyKat This is such a fun series! 7y

Sace I had a lot of fun with this series and I really loved these covers. 7y

TamarackTrail My niece wanted this series for Christmas. Is it appropriate for an 11 year old? 7y

LibrarianRyan @TamarackTrail I think so. A girl gets her first kiss but that is about it. I have only read the first book. I don't remember anything standing out as too old. 7y

TamarackTrail @LibrarianRyan thanks a lot. The cover I found looked like it would be for an older age so I was hesitant. She's definitely a future Litsy user, so it's hard for me to keep up with her "already read" pile ? 7y

LibrarianRyan @TamarackTrail the paper back have the girls in dresses that does make it look older. If I remember the main character is about 15. I hope she likes them. I loved the first one and wasn't expecting to. 7y

The Story of Australia�s People: The Rise and Fall of Ancient Australia | Geoffrey Blainey

Geoffrey Blainey coined the term “black armband view of history” and has been a conservative voice in Australia‘s History Wars. This book is certainly an old white man‘s version of events, but it sounds quite rigorous too. I‘ll be interested to read it. #historystickstoyourfeet #tuneintonovember

Tiger Lily | Jodi Lynn Anderson

I know this has nothing to do with #historystickstoyourfeet but Aunt Sticky Feet came to mind today for this one today. She was an elder so she probably knew a lot of the history of her tribe. 😅

JoRead It's horrible what women had (and in some instances still do) to do in order to be found suitable for marriage 😡😱 7y

BarbaraBB What a book! Great choice -despite what it is about! 7y

LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads @DebinHawaii @JoRead @BarbaraBB I know! It‘s quite something, isn‘t it? 😬 7y

LeahBergen @Leftcoastzen Yes! I actually bought a little old pair at an antique shop in Asia. 7y

Fifty Foods That Changed the Course of History | Bill Price

#TuneIntoNovember #HistorySticksToYourFeet History may stick to your feet but it definitely sticks in my stomach.😋When I looked for books with 'history' in their title or subtitle I had quite a few-the bulk of them related to food. My culinary geek side loves learning about the history behind different foods & drinks, cuisines, why we eat what we do & even what historical figures ate. Some of these I've read & others are in my #TBR stacks. 🍽📚💙

Cortg The History of the World in Six Glasses was interesting. 7y

Cinfhen You must have the BEST cookbook collection EVER!!! LOVE this collage😍😋 7y

And Then All Hell Broke Loose: Two Decades in the Middle East | Richard Engel

Melissa_J I‘ve got this one on my TBR too. 7y

AmyG I watch him on TV. He is a wonderful journalist. Our joke is, since he travels to many dangerous places, that his mother must be a nervous wreck. ;) 7y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @AmyG haha! We have the same kind of joke here! Of course Richard is there, it‘s the worst place to be in the world right now. 7y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I read this one and his other one last year, there‘s some overlap, but definitely worth it.

Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China | Jung Chang

#tuneintonovember #historystickstoyourfeet

An oldie but a goodie. Wild Swans tells the story of three generations of Chinese women - from a concubine with bound feet, to a member of the Communist party, to a Red Guard who is sent to live as a peasant in the Cultural Revolution. Each generation is affected by the one before and their #historystickstotheirfeet

This is a classic of bio/memoir writing. And a page turner!

Cinfhen, Robothugs

Robothugs This sounds good! 7y
