I always thought of this as something I “should” read, but didn‘t look forward to it (so it languished on my shelves for decades) but he‘s actually amusing. Just barely into Chapter 2 and I‘ve read at least four quotes out to my ever-suffering husband.

I won‘t win the farthest travel distance so am jumping on the time travel train.
Here is the book proof for our travel back to Hitler and fascism. I‘m only part way into it but the parallels are there for all to see and understand if you‘d only care enough to open your eyes a bit to the relentless propaganda.
I recently binge watched The Serpent Queen on Starz & LOVED it. It‘s about Catherine de Medici, who was the queen regent of France in the 1500‘s. The show is based on the tagged book. It plays loose with history & has a magical realism element to it but I loved every second of this show. Catherine was such a badass. 😎

Now that I‘m officially interested in the Dark Ages, I now want to look at what this period looked like for the rest of the world primarily focusing on China and India, both of which were well established before the continent of Europe.
I always wondered why there was no record keeping in the Dark Ages. I now think the reason why there was no record keeping was people were still moving around. The fall of Rome opened a door to where other groups could move around Europe and actually establish territorial dominance. Modern states weren‘t even formed yet, so no, we had no records but we also didn‘t have established territories for people to stop and write things down in.
Happy Friday (best day of the week)! Here's another recent acquistion for our personal library. Our son gave me this for my birthday.
