- Foundation: The History of England from Its Earliest Beginnings to the Tudors: Peter Ackroyd and Tudors: The History of England from Henry VIII to Elizabeth I: Peter Ackroyd. I’ve fallen down a bit of a rabbit hole with these.
- Children of Ruin: Adrian Tchaikovsky. Sequel to Children of Time. The first was great. This one I’m having trouble getting through and may stop.
