I’m only a few pages away from finishing the Queen Elizabeth I book that I’m reading. I’m about to encounter the Stewarts, and am wondering which would be the best book to read.. There’s one that sounds quite interesting, All His Spies: The secret world of Robert Cecil – perhaps the 16th Century ‘M’ The Spy Master of the Time.
Last week, I wrote about my trip over to Portsmouth for breakfast with my Amateur Radio friends, and then went on to Waterstones for a browse. I bought a book The Meteorite Hunters. I read about the first 20 pages on the bus, on the way home. It is, quite gripping and at the top of my reading list – except for the fax that my real reading list are the books that I am reading on the historical time line from The Plantagenets to Oliver Cromwell.
My next book should be about James (VI of Scotland, The First of England). But my dilemma is I really want to read the Meteorite Hunters. What to do? As I’m sat writing this, the Meteorite Hunters is next to my keyboard calling out to me. I really enjoyed the first 20 pages, and that just makes it worse.
So, which to read? Well, The Meteorite Hunters is here, on my desk and the next history book is to be identified and ordered, whereas The Meteorite Hunters is here. I think I’ve made my decision.
