My heavy TBR this month! I didn‘t even include all the Roman history books— I‘m in the middle of some intense researching because we leave for Rome in 5 days! ✈️⛲️🏛🍕🍝 I‘m also trying some new online book clubs: Lab Girl is for the Diverse Book Club, Stay With Me is this month‘s Modern Mrs Darcy pick, & Why I‘m No Longer Talking To White People About Race is for Words Between Worlds.

"No wealthy Roman would leave the house without a toga. It is so long (up to six yards) that they often need the help of a slave to put it on. Elegance demands that the folds be just right."

Leniverse Back when fashion saddled not only women, but men too, with highly impractical garments or accessories that leave you only one hand free. 7y
