I didn't know about it until now, and it is weirdly listed as a podcast, but I'm glad I stumbled onto it. 😊

The Importance of Being Earnest can just get away with 1800s, so I can grab that. :)There's a free audible original version that stars Stephen Fry as Lady Bracknell.

By now -with 4 of his books under my belt- I'm allowed to say that it is the "usual" Dan Jones. :))
I have 2 more to tackle that are both on my TBR and my books-owned shelf: The Plantagenets: The Warrior Kings and Queens Who Made England and The Templars: The Rise and Spectacular Fall of God's Holy Warriors. :))

5 stars, an excellent "bird-eye view" of the Middle Ages from the Fall of the Roman Empire to the start of the Reformation. Very well structured, clearly presented and easy to follow.

Hello 3Ps, In case you haven't seen this yet... the new Wheel challenge will be rolling in shortly. :))

H🎡🎡 RAY! L🎡🎡king forward to this. 🥳
The Bach book was the one that Kobo baited me with & sealed the deal. It was on sale for 1.99 usd and I fell for it. 😆
🤣
So, here are 2 chunkies:Music in the Castle of Heaven: A Portrait of Johann Sebastian Bach
American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer
plus the 300+
The Myth of the Andalusian Paradise: Muslims, Christians, and Jews under Islamic Rule in Medieval Spain
Actually, I found 2, but they are either a doorstopper or above 300 pages, not sure if they are any good for Turf Wars? Also they have all the letters with subtitles. Do you still want me to list them?
Will check if I have anything to suggest. :)
I have On the Road and Off the Record with Leonard Bernstein: My Years with the Exasperating Genius for WOMBAT. But it can be kicked out, no hard feelings. :))
