And Robert Tombs’ The English and Their History, which was a New York Times 2016 Notable Book, looks pretty interesting. It also looks pretty long (1074 pages), so be forewarned! But I find that I can take

Eight years in the making, but worth the wait… I have long wished for another book in T Lee Harris’ far-too-short Sitehuti and Nefer-Djenou-Bastet series, whose one book and three short stories I discovered and devoured during one weekend, back in 2017. It’s been one of my favorite series for years, and now my hopes,

As I mention in the “About Mostly Mysteries” section up top on the home page, Encyclopedia Brown was one of the first mystery series I remember reading, getting the books (if I remember correctly so many decades later) from Scholastic, ordered through the elementary school I went to. Clearly the series helped start something
