Even though still I’m working my way through Fareed Zakaria’s Age of Revolutions: Progress and Backlash from 1600 to the Present as well as Moudhy Al-Rashid’s Between Two Rivers: Ancient Mesopotamia and the Birth of History and Alexandra Richie’s Warsaw 1944: Hitler, Himmler, and the Warsaw Uprising that didn’t stop me from dropping by the library this week and borrowing three more books. As always I hope to be apply these towards a number of reading challenges. Looks like that towering stack of library books by my reading chair isn’t going away anytime soon and just got a bit taller.
A Bookseller in Madrid by Mario Escobar (2025) – I want to apply this historical novel towards a number of reading challenges but especially the Bookish Books Reading Challenge.
The Book of Lost Names by Kristin Harmel (2020) – Another book I hope to apply towards multiple reading challenges. I’ve had my eye on it for the last couple of months and I think now’s the time to finally read it.
Some People Need Killing: A Memoir of Murder in My Country by Patricia Evangelista (2023) – Another book I’ve had my eye on. I’ll be reading Evangelista’s first hand account of authoritarian rule in the Philippines for the Southeast Asia category of Book’d Out‘s Nonfiction Reader Challenge.
