beccaelizabethI finished reading the second history book sort of by accident. It got up to 1688 and Newton and I turned the page for the next bit and it was the bibliography. I know it said on the front which year it went up to, it was just amusing enough I wasn't thinking about that, just wondering what it would say next.
So, good to read then.
I don't think I found as many new-to-me things in the later history. Even the bit about the lady who defended her castle for years and years was in the rather good multi part BBC castles documentary I saw on the TV. Still pretty cool.
I think I shall look for more information about anglo saxon women. I found a couple of titles of books but they're not in the Forum / Norfolk library. They are in the UEA broadsearch, so if I can get it so I'm allowed to borrow UEA books again, which I think only takes some moneys, then I could borrow those books. I get a bit frustrated with the ordinary library books, I want more chewy details. Maybe I'd find them if I knew the right titles though.
These and other plans I've been trying to do for the past two years... still, reading library books is more than I managed for all of 2014, so this year is an improvement.
... it's just so tempting to buy books and get everything delivered, or to wander around the internet forever even if it is poorly sourced mostly undergrad essays and all saying the same thing. Minimal effort.
We live in such an age of riches, for information. Pretty cool.
