JamReads - Making your TBR closer to infinite In JamReads you will find content about books, and why you should read them more. This content may include reviews, interviews and occasionally, some news of the literary world

The Ark and the Empire, first book in the Shards trilogy (pub by @headofzeus.bsky.social), by @michaellivingston.com, is a great blend between history and myth; a pageturner that gives a fantastical spin over a key moment of Roman history.

I am really enjoying "Bloody Crowns" by @michaellivingston.com . Super dense, as he's covering an incredibly dense era, but gripping and easy to follow. I also can't get the phrase "wet gap" out of my head. Absolutely recommend it to anyone with even a passing interest in medieval history.

Two Centuries of Bloodshed: Michael Livingston Expands the Frame of Medieval Warfare in "Bloody Crowns" Michael Livingston’s Bloody Crowns: A New History of the Hundred Years War undertakes what might be called a re-mapping of one of Europe’s most examined conflicts.

It is thrilling and humbling to read a review of your work that gets it so well that you kick yourself for not coming up with some of the sentences yourself.

β€œThe author’s training as both scholar and storyteller shapes his execution effectively. His command of archival materialβ€”royal letters, treaties, chronicles, and the practical minutiae of campaignsβ€”anchors the narrative, while his instinct for structure keeps it readable.”
