The Travels of Marco Polo | 
pick4 ⭐️s
I originally wanted to read this book after watching the Netflix show, but quickly learned they‘re almost nothing alike. Still, it was a fascinating and often times humorous glimpse of the perceived lives of numerous peoples. Taking most of it with a large grain of salt (Polo is not the most trustworthy narrator) I was grateful for the slew of footnotes that explained/corrected his stories.
One of my #Roll100 books for January (number 24).
✨My goal is to read 100 books this year. I also want to keep my book buying down to 25 books.
✨Obstacles
✨It‘s certainly not what I expected, but I‘m finding the descriptions of distant, exotic lands as exciting and humorous as I believe people must have for centuries.

Time travel through 13th Century India. Although he explains each current states of India as separate countries and the richest countries he've ever been to🖤🖤🖤
Saw these on a second hand store window. They are beautiful! 😍❤
Squeee, I‘m excited!! It‘s been 13 years since I‘ve been to California. I used to travel there all the time in the 90s and even lived in Southern Cali for a while. So now I‘m going back!! Well, only for a few days to visit friends and not before February. But I‘m excited as I‘ve missed this place so much! One thing that‘s on my bucket list: The last bookstore!❤️ Is it weird that I‘m already mentally compiling book lists for the long flights? 🤣
My latest #bookhaul was three weeks ago, but I'm not about to run out of things to read. #booksacrossoceans @pri_bibliophile @mellisarock
Around the world with Marco Polo. Hopefully I would not take 80 days to finish this up 😂
I found a Folio Society edition of The Travels of Marco Polo...at Goodwill!
