5.5 Jotunheim, the Home of the Giants

I read Enclave, with YA as a main page genre.

10.10 - The Odd Couple
I read The King of Diamonds by Simon Tolkien - Simon is author's first name.

30.3 - Teri-k's Task: Your Own Personal Tardis

For my first book, I chose option 1 (<200 AD), and read Imperium: A Novel of Ancient Rome. The book is about Cicero, who lived from 106 BC to 43 BC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cicero.

For my second book, I chose option 3 (1200-1699) and read The House of Medici: Its Rise and Fall, which covers the history of the Medici family, starting (although briefly) with Giovanni di Bicci de' Medici, born 1360, and contining through the death of the last Medici ruler of Florence, Gian Gsstne de' Medici" in 1737, with a small amount of information about the government of Florence after the death of Gian Gastone.

The part of the book involving the period from 1700-1743 is considerably less than 5% of the book (about 10 pages total).
