If you’re wondering how I’ve coping with…well everything…the answer is 2 things: my beloved penjamin & nonfiction books about bad things that have already happened. I actually think it’s bringing me peace in a weird way. It just constantly reminds me that things have always been and will always be bad, and yet, we persevere in spite of it. It’s kind of lovely, that sentiment, however I am (and I genuinely mean this when I say it) grateful EVERY DAY that I am not living in the middle ages. EVERY SINLGE DAY. 

Anyways this book!!! You guys this book! I can’t recommend it enough. It’s just a perfect of why I love narrative nonfiction so much, when done at this level it’s so completely immersive and Ian Mortimer’s writing is so incredibly vivid, wicked, and witty while being informative.
