A few years ago I aquired this Scots-language biography of the medieval freedom fighter written for teens. Our own teens weren't as excited as I was.

I received this from LibraryThing Early Reviewers. Still need to read it.

I found this one at Pioneer Book, a cool indie in Provo, Utah, a couple years ago.

While I don't much care for the British monarchy these days, Diana's death occured around the time I was discovering my anglophilia as a teenager and it had a big effect on me. It's strange to think back on that time now.

This is one of the worst Tess covers because it portrays Tess as a seductress, which is just not accurate, and because of the sentence, '...a woman's unwilling fall from virtue'. That's called rape, Mr. Book Designer in 1955 and you obviously haven't read Hardy's subtitle: 'A Pure Woman.'

Bergman is my favorite film director. I discovered his work in 2009 when I finally borrowed The Seventh Seal from the library where I work. My reaction to that first exposure: 'WHAT IS THIS?' I've now seen about 40 of his films, collected more than 10 related books, and The Seventh Seal is one of my top 10 favorite films.

This is one of those books I had to add to our collection in solidarity with fellow workers, but also because it was about the English, was published by Penguin Classics, and, if I'm honest, because it was inexpensive.

Another book I got mostly for Amy. I really liked TKAM when I read it for the first time a few years ago, but she brought that book into my orbit and I probably wouldn't have ever read it without her advocacy because it's just so far outside my normal reading.

Amy is currently working her way through the Anne books so I grabbed this for her when I saw it at at charity shop.

Amy and I received this as members of the Elizabethan England tour group led by the author in 2023.

pickThis resonated with me. I was glad to find that the author's conclusions are based on scientific data and his experience as a counsellor and psychologist. I expected to learn skills to help me raise our son but didn't expect to also gain insights into how I was raised and how I can help other boys in my life. Recommended.
