Omg, I bawled. Set in the English countryside before the onset of the blitz, this simple tale follows Willie, a young boy who is part of the flood of evacuee children sent out of London for their own safety. Willie has been terribly abused by his mother and unlike most kids, is not particularly sad about leaving home. His life doesn't even truly begin until he leaves London and enters the care of Mr. Tom, A grumpy old widower.

This is a good one.

This was a pretty dry, but interesting look at the day to day life of non aristocratic Romans. I learned a lot and I enjoyed an unexpected nap from one reading session. 😂

This was completely fascinating. I had no idea there was so much litigation regarding the development of Tetris.

Really worth reading.

This one reminded me of Cornwell's Saxon Chronicles combined with Pillars of the Earth. Great read.

Second volume of Oliver’s poems I have read. Terrific. I think some of these were also in the volume of dog poetry I read. Did not mind re-reading. :)

God this was fascinating!

Fascinating read.
