Round-ups

My 2021 in Books. I had the target of 100 books, but managed only 89, which is not bad. I’m happy even if I didn’t reach the 100 mark. My 2021 in Books: 22 fiction books. My favourite fiction book: Animal Farm by George Orwell.…

My 2020 in Books. I picked up three books which were lovely, but I already mentioned them in the best posts of this year, on my lifestyle blog. Those books are: The French Revolution by Stephen Clarke, The Domestic Revolution by Ruth Goodman, and Forgotten…

Next month I’m starting my second year at University and I picked for my optional subject the Spanish Civil War, 1936-1939. I received a long list of books from my tutor and I searched for books on my own. Here is the initial list of…

Next week I’m starting a new subject, European History 1815-1914, so I will share the reading list I was given. This is the minimum reading list. I will receive a complete one by the end of this week. I will share reviews on my blog…

My 2019 in Books, a round-up. I’ve read 88 books, a few more than the challenge I took this year, of 75 books. In the reading challenge that I took, I planned to read three books and I’ve read only one of those, Lolita. I…

Update on the post I published in October last year, about my reading list for University – British History 1485-1603. I studied this subject during the Michaelmas term and at the beginning of the Hilary term. The books you can see in the picture were…

This is a round-up of the books I’ve read and I’ve enjoyed. The topic of the round-up is Women in History. I gave all the books at least 3 stars. For each recommendation I’m writing a very short description. All the books are non-fiction, of…

Mary Balogh is my favourite regency novel author. So, I’m sharing today a round-up of the regency novels by Mary Balogh I’ve enjoyed last year and this year as well. Besides these books, I’ve also read the Bedwyn Saga, that boast 8 books. I’ve loved…

I’ve read quite a few books on Holocaust, so I’m making a round-up of them, with a few details about each one and links to the reviews. In this round-up I included all the books I’ve read on Holocaust and I will update this post…

I’ve decided to make a special post about Mary Balogh and update here all the books I’m reading by her, as most of them are in series. It will be also easier for me to link to only one post and update this one instead…

I’ve made a post about the books I’ve read in 2018, but these questions are different. I did enjoy reading the answers Kezzie wrote on her blog, hence me answering to them as well. Also, very little information from the previous post is mentioned here…

It’s early January, so the perfect time to set up a new reading challenge. Last year I had a reading challenge of 30 books, that I’ve updated to 52 and again to 60. In the end I’ve read 85 books. This made me confident to…

At the begining of the year I’ve made a reading challenge: 30 books. I finished it fast, then raised to 52. After reaching that, I’ve updated the challenge to 60. In the end, I’ve read 85 books this year and this is my 2018 in…

I recently saw the Lost in a Book Tag on Helen’s blog, at teainthetub. and I thought I should give it a go. I’ve answered a few questions from this Lost in a Book Tag in the “about me” post, but not all of them.…

A couple of years ago I’ve discovered Philippa Gregory. I enjoyed the first book I’ve read written by her, so I’ve continued reading. Now I can say I’ve finished two series by her: The Cousins’ War and The Tudor Court. I though it would be…

I mentioned in the about me page that last year I’ve managed to read 60 books. This made me consider having a new blog, just for them. I had a lifestyle blog for 6 years, and a couple of years ago I’ve decided to make…
