You've quickly become one of my favorite booktube channels around. I appreciate how in depth you get when discussing each book and you give excellent details that really help me decide if a book is going to be worth it for me or not. I'll keep looking forward to your stuff :)

I read non-fiction almost exclusively. I do the same thing as you, two or three non-fiction books (more if I can) on a topic and then maybe a historical fiction novel that fits to put some “meat on the bones” of the history. I call them my projects.🙂 I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the Roman and Viking histories…they look great. I just found your channel. Thank you for sharing what you’ve found for us to consider! ☮️

I’d check out Stacey Schiff’s biography of Cleopatra, I think she’s someone who balances historical sources and analysis of those sources really brilliantly

Hello. I just found your channel and I’m so glad that I did. I am looking for recommendations on ancient history in general. Watching this video reminded me that I own Sea People, so when you mentioned that you liked the audiobook, I paused the video and bought the audiobook and I can’t wait to read and listen to it. I really enjoyed this video and can’t wait to watch more!

I love ancient history! I am in the middle of listening to an audiobook on Classical Greek mythology and what it says about the Ancient Greek people and their society. It’s fascinating and the audiobook is set up almost like a 101 unit from university. Thanks for the recs.

Sea Peoples was excellent. I didn't read The Storm Before the Storm, but something similar, Mortal Republic by Edward Watts which was very good.

Mortal Republic also looks good - too many books, too little time

Ooooo good to hear you enjoyed The Crusades. It'll take a little motivation for me to start that big boy. Also, I'm ~2/3 into ALMOST HUMAN right now, which was definitely a recommendation from you! I don't know anything about prehistory and am blown away simply by the concept that there were many, many extinct species on the homo sapien family tree. Seems so silly to think otherwise in retrospect! I saw on IG that you recently recommended a book by Paul Pettit so I'm going to check that one out too afterwards!!!

@@audreyapproved that's awesome, I'm so glad you picked it up! I would love to be a part of an excavation as exciting as the ones at Rising Star Cave (but then I remember I'm really claustrophobic lol). Homo Sapiens Rediscovered is well worth the time and money.

Thank you for this! It was very insightful and helped me add to my book list. Funnily enough, your interests (being broad in scope) are similar to mine. I enjoy history, but at the same time also look into paleoanthropology and human evolution (Kindred by Rebecca Wragg-Sykes was a great read and I highly recommend), so I found that really cool.
