pickA biography of the historian Steven Runciman. I found it rather heavy going during his childhood, only picking up once people I'd heard of before were introduced. But then it became an absolutely fascinating look at intellectual and celeb life from the 1920s onward.
My library used book sale haul from this morning 🤪 So much for trying to stick to a very restricted buying criteria 🤦♀️🤷🏼♀️ Several of these I‘ve had on my Goodreads ‘To Read‘ list for years. So, now that I have a physical copy on my Mt. TBR pile there‘s no excuse to not get to them now 😏😜LOL yeah, right - watch me 🤣
