It's Easter 2020 - We're All in Lockdown - Where are You & What are You Reading?

At home of course! Alone!

Picked up a $5.00 book at a pop up shop in my local shopping centre,

City of Halves seems like a fairly standard fantasy, but perfect for isolation.

Also starting to re-read Jim Butcher Dresden files. I just watched the DVD. Pitty they only made one series.

Enjoy your isolation, Guido.

Me to... at home alone in St Kilda, reading "A Short History of London" by Simon Jenkins. Pondering a walk up Elwood Canal before sunset... need some exercise!

Having just knocked over shadows of anzac by David W. Cameron and Major Thomas : the bush lawyer who defended Breaker Morant and took on the British Empire by Greg Growden in the week leading up to Easter I've had my fill of Oz Military History. I have now started on The Queen of Last Hopes by Susan Higginbotham - a novelisation of the life of Margaret of Anjou. This I picked up for $5 at a bargain bookstore here in the deep south of the ACT. I'm something of a fan of Margaret - she very nearly kept the House of Lancaster in charge.

Cheers

Macbeth... I thought it was cold (and windy and wet) in Melbourne today, but I reckon it would be even more bitterly chilly in Canberra.

Actually Bushwacked - yesterday in Canberra was bright and sunny, but the wind chill did take the percieved temperature down. Today has been quite warm. I sat out in the garage with the doors open painting my toy soldiers.

However I did spend the morning finishing The Queen of Last Hopes. I quite enjoyed the story overall.

I have just started A Brief History of The Amazons by Lyn Webster Wilde - I have always enjoyed the Brief History Series - you can usually pick them up for cheap somewhere and I never fail to learn something new from them. I have a substantial collection these days.

Cheers
