Ten Books that I Impulsively Bought this Month

So I might have gone a little overboard this month when it came to book-buying. To be fair, most of these were on sale so I felt compelled to buy them. As a result, I have ten books to share with you today.

The Plantagenets: The Warrior Kings and Queens Who Made England by Dan Jones

I’ve watched many history documentaries over the past couple of months, and the ones narrated by Dan Jones are my absolute favorite. The links to Plantagenet documentaries narrated by Dan Jones will be attached here.

Europe in the Middle Ages is so interesting, and this book catalogs the Plantagenet dynasty of English kings and how they shaped England as we know it today.

Who needs history textbooks if you have Dan Jones’ books? He tells history like it's a story, and it's anything but dry. I enjoyed reading this book and I bought two more of his books that I’ll talk about promptly.

2. The Wars of the Roses: The Fall of the Plantagenets and the Rise of the Tudors by Dan Jones
