    British History

    in Non Fiction

    Posted

    Thanks that does look good and some great review, I was also interested in the history going back further, basically from the Romans or at least the Normans. That may be asking too much though...

    Well I'm currently reading The Plantagenets by Dan Jones. It's very good ... Maybe that's what are you looking for

    British History

    in Non Fiction

    Posted

    I was hoping to find a good book covering the history of the wars and battles between Britain and France. Kings and Queens, invasions and occupations etc.

     

    Has anyone heard of anything like this? Did a quick search myself but got nothing.

     

    Hello Timstar,

     

    try "That Sweet Enemy" by Robert and Isabelle Tombs. I red it a long years ago and it was very good.

    Hi!

    Hello everyone!

     

    I'm Emily, 24, and a bookworm, surprisingly!

     

    I got a bit fed up of not being able to discuss books with people, as my friends aren't really big readers, so here I am!

     

    Hello Emily,

     

    Don't worry, I'm 24 and I have the same problem as you.

     

    I was wondering that bookworms does not already exist! But here we are :-)

    Philippa Gregory

    in Historical Fiction

    Posted

    The books and series are partly accurate and partly not. The writer (Philippa Gregory) had to imagine the motives, thoughts and conversations, as well as some of the more intimate situations, obviously, but many of the salient historical facts are present and correct. Gregory's books (and the resulting series) are more a blend of fact and fiction than straight fact.

     

    Thank you. I'm just reading the book and it's better than BBC series anyway :-)

    I like composing my own things based on casual thoughts.

    They seem to be unimportant but once you collect them, after a while, they became valuable for you.

    Also it's interesting how they can reflect different "eras" you are going through . . .

    sometimes I read fiction

    before sleep

    or listen to radio drama

     

    and than I have a dreams

    in a sleep

    about what I've just red

    or what I've just heard

    before sleep

     

    than I weak up

    and I don't know

    if it was real

    before sleep

    or it was dream

    in a sleep

     

    and I speak with people

    and don't know

    if that happend

    or if it was just fiction

    before sleep

     

    so maybe some things

    never happend

    but I think

    they did

     

    and who cares?
