Book Tag; Ancient History Book Tag

I came across the Ancient History Book Tag created by Books Michelle and I decided to play along as it looked like a fun tag, especially as I'm a bit of a history geek.

QUESTIONS:

1. The Stone Age: one of the first books you remember reading.
Danny the Champion of the World by Roald Dahl

2. Ancient Greece: your favorite myth-inspired book (doesn’t have to be Greek mythology), or retelling.
This Poison Heart by Kalynn Bayron

3. The Roman Empire: a book featuring an impressive empire or kingdom.
Murder in Absentia by Assaph Mehr

4. The Middle Ages, (or the Dark Ages): a book that is an absolute bummer.
A Class of Conjuring by Evie Wilde

5. The Renaissance: a book that you’ve learned a lot from, or that made you think.
Bannockburn 1314 by Lynette Nusbacher

6. The Industrial Revolution: a book featuring an invention or concept that you would love to have in your own life.
I have honestly no clue.

7. World War I & II: your favorite historical fiction book about the World Wars (or if you don't have one, your favorite historical fiction book in general).
A Pair of Silver Wings by James Holland

8. Present day: a book everybody should read in present day according to you.
Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender

Even though I'm technically having a hiatus for my book blogging at the moment, I still wanted to announce the 2025 Diversity Reading Challenge, just in case anyone wanted to participate in it and start planning their TBR pile. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADHD and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/m...
