This book is an insanely awesome guide to Elizabethan England. Totally immersive and so full of amazing details. Super well paced and it covers so many aspects of society and culture. Now I need to get my hands on more books by Ian Mortimer!

i.z.booknook I recently read his guide to medieval England and loved it! Definitely want to go for this one next! What a fabulous idea for a book! 3y

sparrowssavvy @Milara I‘m so glad to hear that they are all just as good! I just added them to my wishlist!! 3y

jenniferw88 It's entirely up to you! I'm up to favourites and new to me authors. PS IF you're thinking of the tagged book series, we already have them all (so you can dismiss some books lol! 🤣🤣🤣) 5y

JaneyWaneyB Ha ha cross that one off the list. I think you are going to find yourself travelling somewhere different to the time you're used to 🤔😊 5y

Chrissyreadit 🥰🥰🥰🥰 5y

jenniferw88 Yay! Think you're going to find yourself somewhere other than when I've posted about for you as well! 5y

JaneyWaneyB @jenniferw88 the 14th of August is too long to wait 😕📚🎁 5y

madamereadsalot1 I really like 1984. My purse is actually a 1984 tote bag from Out of Print! 5y

SW-T Read 1984 and

Little Bookstore of Big Stone Gap: A Memoir of Friendship, Community, and the Uncommon Pleasure of a Good Book

Zelma 1984 is always excellent when I reread it. And I liked Cameron Post quite a bit. 5y

kezzlou85 I've read sourdough it's a bit strange but a good read. 5y

Kaye I‘ve read the STYLES Christie book. It was ok, but I‘m not a big mystery fan, so others might like it more. I‘ve also read Map of the World but it‘s been decades so I don‘t remember a blooming thing about it. 5y

I cheated and opened my #JolabokaflodSwap package yesterday before our flight and was beyond delighted. Mo‘s Dark is one of my favorite chocolate bars, but I adore chocolate with raspberries. Thank you, @Ericalambbrown , it was perfect!

Ps. The homemade goodies are long gone.

Ericalambbrown Yay! I‘m so glad you liked it! The raspberry chocolate was glorious when I tried it at their factory so o had to share. Safe travels and have a beautiful holiday. 5y

Come with me as we take a #MagicCarpetRide through time to Elizabethan England. Stay on the carpet, because it's probably not a good idea to walk around the muck and decay on the streets. But, gaze at the life, the goods (including carpets!) that adorn the wealthier homes. Mortimer uses primary sources to dish out the real story about life under Elizabeth's reign. High on my #tbr pile. #RockinMay

Just finished this book. Highly recommend if you like history. Some knowledge of the history of England is recomended but not required. But all the Edwards gets a little confusing!

Wrestling a guy to the ground? Alright.
Biting off his nose? Slight overreaction.
Swallowing the damned thing? Someone call for the priest. Exorcism needed.

But when memory embraces the night
I see those days, long since gone,
like the ancient light of extinguished stars
traveling still, and shining on.

This is an AWESOME book for anyone needing to research the 16th century, or anyone just interested in Elizabethan England or history. Mortimer walks you through 1500's London with such detail it's amazing. Learn everything from what people wore to how they treated their ill. So interesting.

Merethebookgal I started reading his Medieval England book and really enjoyed it! (I had to return it to the library before I could finish it, so I need to see if it's available again 😄) 8y

CharissaWeaksAuthor @Merethebookgal I want to read that too!! 8y
