David McK (3883 KP) rated 1000 years of annoying the French in Books

Aug 29, 2026

This is probably best described as a light-hearted look back at the relationship between Great Britain and (perhaps) her oldest frenemy France; all told very much one-sided (which it makes no bones about) concentrating largely on what France did or gets 'wrong' and what GB did or gets 'right'.

For all that, it is informative enough - provided, of course, that you take it as it is intended!
(to be a tongue-in-cheek one-sided view of history)

May 12, 2018

This was a very informative and detailed read. Before Hidden Figures the movie came out, I didn't know this was a book and more importantly, I didn't know about these women and their contributions to NASA and the space program. It's truly amazing what they were able to figure out with their minds. This is a book that everyone should read so they can see the ways in which African-Americans contribute to something as important as getting a man in space and then safely back home.

Very interesting read. Well written and very informative. I absolutely love fairies which is what drew me to request this book......and I was not disappointed. This book has definitions, poems and a serious look at the folkloreand mythology of fairies. Some of the things covered in this book are Fairyland, Basic Facts about Fairies, The Courts and Divisions in Fairy, Fairies in Tradition, Mortal Interactions and Fairies in the Modern World. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Netgalley.

It’s like listening to two people you’re friends with talking about something you’re all interested in. They’re so funny. (0 more)

My first podcast

I’m only up to the 12th episode, and fell in love with it upon first listening to it. They may not always know all the details but they’re very informative and try to lighten the mood when things get too dark (such as cannibalism) so maybe we won’t go off and have nightmares. It’ll take a while but I plan on listening to every episode.
