How many times in history did this happen? According to to the author, beginning with Reformation, libraries were decimated by varying religious groups, with the intention of burning “controversial texts.” There are lists of these books.available today.“ Femina” was the category that destroyed female texts were cataloged under. I am reading the into- so much to digest on every page!

TheBookHippie Well. I need to read this apparently. 😵‍💫 and yes, why do you think conservatives are constantly trying to dummy down and remove books from public schools? So they can control the population. 2w
GingerAntics I think this author needs to do her homework. The library at Alexandria was destroyed, and with it almost all the scrolls (the equivalent of roughing 100,000 books), in 48 BCE by rioting Christians who wanted to destroy the pagan knowledge. 1w
GingerAntics The books that were rescued from the Library of Alexandria were housed in the library of the Temple of Serapis. It was known as the “daughter” library to the Library of Alexandria because it was created to house those rescued scrolls and added many others until it was destroyed in 391 CE by the Roman emperor in an attempt to eradicate pagan study and worship to establish Christianity as the sole religious and intellectual authority. (edited) 1w
GingerAntics Christians have been doing this ever since Paul and Rome took over the christian faith. These nuts have been doing this since the beginning. Sectarian destruction of libraries (christians destroying other christians‘ books) began in during the reformation. 1w

1) hope to see the eclipse, but looks like it might be cloudy. on vacation the rest of the week I have no plans which is glorious.

2)coffee in the morning, water later in day.

3) I have tons of book marks which i do use, but often it‘s a found thing near me- tissue, mail, ribbon,etc.

4) current read is tagged.

Unpopular opinion I guess. I didn‘t enjoy this story. It started so well and there were intparts but sometimes I felt disconnected with the story with details. In my opinion it was not well integrated. I have a couple of books by this author 😬2.5⭐️

Another hit for Dan Jones! This sequel to Essex Dogs takes the Dogs from Crecy to Calais. Of course the history shines through but so do the characters and the setting. Highly recommended

Just finished for #AuthorAMonth, and I loved it. Took me awhile to warm up to it, but once I understood the rhythm of the storytelling, I was captivated by Marie and her sisters.

#tlt #threelistthursday Thanks @dabbe for the tag!

1) Tagged (my favorite book): Saxon bastard Walter of Gurney trekking to the farthest reaches of the earth during the dark Middle Ages: Cathay (China)

2) Bilbo in The Hobbit

3) and from this month‘s reads, British women Helen and Gwyneira traveling to New Zealand to meet their unknown husbands in the 1800s In the Land of the Long White Cloud

This was fun! Tagging everyone!

dabbe #'s 1 and 2 sound fascinating! On the TBR! I reread THE HOBBIT last year and forgot what an incredible Hero's Quest story it is! #bilboisthebest Thanks for sharing. 💚💙💚 2mo
