Wednesday Intended Reading Post

Or: what DIDN'T you read this week?

We all have things we mean to read, but never quite find the time, whether it's a bunch of unopened tabs, or an ever growing pile of books by the bed.

What's on your to-be-read list this week?

I was tearing through Helen Castor's new (well, 2014) book on Joan of Arc before going on a two-week holiday last month, but now that I'm back I can't get myself back into it. On the plus side I've become quite ruthless about clearing out tabs, which has felt really good.

Ah, getting back into a book, particularly a serious book, can be so hard when you've had a break.

Did you do any fun reading on your holiday?

Yeah, it's especially annoying because Castor is an unusually lively writer for history, I've just lost the momentum!

My plane book was 'The Royal We', a very fun and very silly romance about serial-numbers-scraped-off-Kate-Middleton-and-Prince-William. (Although I was disappointed it didn't end in a republican revolution, but that's going to be my problem with any book about fictional royals. :P)
