Those who do not learn from history, are bound to repeat it!!

Thanks to @PathfinderNicole and @majkia among others for suggestion.

rwmg I have been reading Frances Brody's Kate Shackleton series set in 1920s Yorkshire, so I may read the next one:

A Snapshot of Murder: The tenth Kate Shackleton Murder Mystery

1mo

Cuilin @julieclair thanks I‘ve updated mine. 1mo

Cuilin @sblbooks sounds like a fabulous cozy read. 1mo

Cuilin @rwmg I love the sound of the series. 1mo

so-so

Decent read. It's good as a broad introduction to the history of the Normans. The book covers several different historical events, such as William the Conqueror, the Norman conquest of Sicily, and the 1st Crusade. However, I feel that the author tries to cover too much material in too short of a book. As a result, several events aren't covered in as much detail as they could've been.

pick

Pretty good superficial view of German history since Roman times. Showed why Hitler seemed to be the answer in the early '30s. Don't look for a lot of details here, but OK overview. Took me longer to read than I thought, as usual.
