So, to recap, I have a huge amount of physical and ebooks that I need to read before I get more, and my goal is to get through a significant number of them. This was derailed when I started listening to the audiobooks of the Rivers of London series (seriously addicting if you are at all interested in Dr. Who). Here is an update on my progress (not much but here goes):
-The Gentry: Stories of the English, Adam Nicolson
– Former People: The Final Days of the Russian Aristocracy, Douglas Smith
– Christmas at the Gingerbread Cafe, Rebecca Raisin
–High Heels Mysteries Boxed Set, Vol. I (#1-3), Gemma Halliday
–Written in My Own Heart’s Blood, Diana Gabaldon (I have picked this up probably 6 times and am about 60% done. Quite a slog now.)
–The Children of Henry VIII, Alison Weir
–Queen of Scots: The True Life of Mary Stuart, John Guy
–Prince William: Born to be King, Penny Junor
–Lucrezia Borgia: Life, Love, and Death in Renaissance Italy, Sarah Bradford
-Pedigree Mum, Fiona Gibson
–Queen Elizabeth: The Queen Mother: The Official Biography, William Shawcross
–The Vikings: A History, Robert Ferguson
–1916: A Novel of the Irish Rebellion, Morgan Llywelyn
–Island of the Swans, Ciji WAre
–The Templars and the Shroud of Christ, Barbara Frale
-Cavalier: A Tale of Chivalry, Passion, and Great Houses, Lucy Worsley
–Hidden Treasures, Fern Britton
–North by Northanger: Or the Shades of Pemberley, Carrie Bebris
–Recipe for Love, Katie Fforde
–The Princes of Ireland (The Dublin Saga, #1), Edward Rutherford- Beginning now!
–Twelve Drummers Drumming, C.C. Benison
-That Woman: The Life of Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor, Anna Sebba
–The Alehouse Murders, Maureen Ash
–Between Two Thorns, Emma Newman
-The Left-Handed Marriage, A. O’Connor
–Mary, Queen of Scots, Antonia Fraser
–The Captive Queen of Scots, Jean Plaidy- Gave up- Made it to 34%, not interested.
Hopefully posting this list regularly with updates will force me to stick to it!
Until tomorrow,
The Historian!
