Now reading: Catherine Hanley's biography "Matilda: Empress, Queen, and Warrior" (from @yalepress.bsky.social). Her father Henry I made her the heir, but his barons weren't on board - then her cousin Stephen of Blois swooped in and had himself crowned instead. #BookSky #Books #BookTube 💙📚

My review of Dr. Selena Wisnom's (@lswisnom.bsky.social) wonderful cultural history of ancient Assyria, "The Library of Ancient Wisdom" (@uchicagopress.bsky.social). A brilliant reconstruction of what we can learn from Ashurbanipal's library at Nineveh! #BookSky #Books 💙📚 youtu.be/F7LUpZ9kC_w
