Book tastes

If you look at my catalog the technical books are mine. I like family history, travel, space, music. I'm happy to try a Richard Osman mystery, or maybe something about the history of African enslavement and its impacts, the history of Nigeria.

Don't get this!

Vampires, zombies, horror, politics, religion, mega popular works, Jodie Picault.

ablachly: Readings just let me know that Carrying the Fire: An Astronaut's Journey is in reprinting, and will ship in 2024. My apologies, but hope you enjoy a belated reminder of SantaThing by having your books spread out? (Dic 19, 2023, 10:55am)
ablachly: ordered! FWIW, Carrying the Fire was out of stock so will ship a little later than the other book. (Dic 6, 2023, 10:39am)
karenb: karenb: For future reference, an acquaintance who's an historian in the field thought well of Toby Green, [A Fistful of Shells: West Africa from the Rise of the Slave Trade to the Age of Revolution]. At AUD$40 (US$26.49) for the paperback, probably not a great choice for this year's ST budget. (Today, 8:02pm) (Dic 3, 2023, 5:10am)
