I am always looking for ways to learn more history but just don't have the time or will right now to read dense books. This week I discovered Hourly History and I'm excited to share with other history lovers! It's a series of books that are designed to be read in one hour (hence the name) about all kinds of historical topics. Everything from Ancient Rome to the Norman Conquest to present day biographies of the Presidents and Princess Diana. There is something for everyone and it gives a great, no nonsense overview of the topic while giving enough detail that you come away feeling like you know the basics.
They also have a great blog with lots of resources at hourlyhistory.com You can sign up to receive free books and even if you buy them they are on average $2.99 each. Kindle Unlimited has most of them to read for free. It's just a wonderful way to become more knowledgeable about so many topics.
My problem now is to zero in on the ones I really like and read them first. It is hard to choose once you start looking through them. If you love history you will be hooked! Happy Reading this week :)
