It sounds excellent.<br /><br />Ancient Rome books would definitely make an enjoyable reading challenge. A summer one perhaps?<br /><br />Jo: Glad you like the jigsaw. There's something very relaxing about the pastime I think.<br /><br />Christine: Thank you, I'm glad you like my Roman 'invasion'. I'll definitely try I, Claudius at some stage.<br /><br />Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-37752830974648375862015-06-08T07:35:26.923+01:002015-06-08T07:35:26.923+01:00I like your Roman 'invasion'!

I have just picked back up a jigsaw started nearly three years ago, but I stopped when my nan died, she loved jigsaws. I'm glad I have gone back to it, even if it has taken so long and the jigsaw is a Christmas scene.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-28906577431384994942015-06-05T07:17:37.443+01:002015-06-05T07:17:37.443+01:00Thanks for the list.

I loved Rosemary Sutcliffe's books as a child, in particular Brother Dusty Feet, but that isn't set in Ancient Rome! I have Eagle of the Ninth and it has been on several of my must-read lists for ages! I hope we both enjoy it.<br /><br />I think Pompeii is a great book. I read it a few years ago and it brought history to life for me - it's a book that I've kept, so it must be good. Imperium is another one of Robert Harris' books I'd love to read.<br /><br />Lovely birthday presents - I have reserved The Buried Giant at the library - but there is a long reservation list!<br /><br />I'll look at your Ancient Rome shelf on Goodreads and maybe make one for myself - another reading challenge perhaps!<br /><br />Oh, and I love that puzzle.BooksPleasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721650104596705715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-36721606905319385882015-06-04T23:16:54.123+01:002015-06-04T23:16:54.123+01:00Carl: The puzzle was a real pleasure to do.
