La revolución está en el aire: 1792. Un gobierno despótico está decidido a convertir Inglaterra en un poderoso imperio comercial.

However I am learning a lot about building a bridge, so silver lining.
Nothing quite makes me put down a book like the aggravating characters you can find in a Kingsbridge Series book. Godwyn, Ralph, I’ve nearly yeeted the book several times because of you.

The only reason I read a 1000pg book on napoleons entire military career was so I could understand fiction books that were set in that time period (of which there are a lot, especially old fiction since it was literally a 20yr affair) and I'm so glad I did honestly it really puts a lot of stuff into perspective
#like when theyre like ahh napoleon has won at austerlitz!! and i have the full context of just how bad jt is#helped massively when reading war and peace#currenrly reading the new ken follet book set 1799-1815 helping a lot knowing everything#alao its just super interesting napoleon was a great military mind and reading of his military years is super interesting#hes also a rat bastard who rests in piss but whateverrr

20 books in 2024
Another year, another year of a TBR pile. I'm really satisfied with my reading in the year 2023. I read some books I wanted to read for a long time. But still, I left some for the year 2024. So I'm transferring the remaining ones into this year, and adding a few more. I'm happy about the upcoming year, as I want to read a lot of fantasy.
