Does anyone else cancel because they will never read all the botm books on their shelves… then want 5 books the next month?????
Many details in the Nights suggest that the tales as we have them are as much a product of Ottoman-era Cairo and Damascus as of Sassanid Persia or Abbasid Baghdad. Thus in "The Porter and the Three Ladies of Baghdad,' when a woman buys a lavish array of supplies for a feast, these include Turkish quinces, Hebron peaches, Damascus lilies, Aleppo raisins, and pastry from Cairo, Turkey, and the Balkans...
The reliefs carved on tomb walls are filled with evocations of earthly life, and their artists took pleasure in capturing a fleeting moment for all eternity. In a relief from the Fifth Dynasty, carved four and a half thousand years ago, a watchman and his guard baboon have caught a thief who is trying to steal some grain. Above the thief's head we see his plea to the guard: 'YAH! Smite your baboon! Get the baboon off me!'
I'm nine books in and I want to pick up eight of them...

Wow, you outdid yourselves with all of those amazing recommendations. Thank you 😊
I've selected a wide range of (hopefully) engaging and informative reads for us throughout 2024. So get ordering, requesting, and stacking those titles.
!!! The earth transformed is the longest by far. I've placed this over 2 months, with our shortest read for the end of June.
I hope you're happy with the selection. 😅

This was a delightful collection of "spooky" stories from all over the world. The illustrations are charming, and most of the stories were new to me.
