Gleefulreader @BarbaraBB @jlhammar I couldn‘t resist. They are normally $25-29 pre-tax here in Canada. These ranged at the used store for $5-10 at the most! 3w

The Architect's Apprentice: A Novel | Elif Shafak

pick

This is beautiful historical fiction told around the life of a famous Turkish architect in Istanbul. The writing is beautiful. The apprentice in the title happens to also be a mahmout in charge of a white elephant. Obviously. Unfortunately I think it needed to be shorter. Just imo.

Billypar @TheBookHippie I visited Harrisburg a few years ago, and they have one of the best bookstores I've ever seen. I was from Lansdale, closer to Philly. My dad was Coast Guard but he left after I was born so we didn't move around. 4mo

Billypar @TheBookHippie I was born in the 80s, and I grew up hearing all the lies about how bad disco was supposed to be, lol. That must have been incredible to experience it on the dance floor! 🕺💃 4mo

TheBookHippie @Billypar it was a beautiful time in my life. They lied because they didn‘t like gay people, it had nothing to do with the music . The music was everything. 🪩 4mo

Billypar @TheKidUpstairs It might be this brown creeper I saw once. I couldn't get enough of its strange waddle up and down the tree trunk. You? 4mo

The Ottomans: Khans, Caesars, and Caliphs | Marc David Baer

pick

Fascinating, informative, & accessible history of the Ottoman Empire from its rise at the end of the 13th century to its collapse in 1922. Baer argues the Ottomans saw themselves as successors to Rome & that Ottoman history is very much a part of European history. A detailed exploration of the dynastic history of the empire as well as important aspects of Ottoman society, including ethnic groups, religion, language & more. Good general overview.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!
