Goodreads Monday is a weekly meme where we randomly select a book from our Goodreads To Be Read list and share it with the world. It’s hosted by Lauren’s Page Turners, so be sure to link back to her site so that we can all see what everyone plans to read!

I always enjoy reading books about books, so this collection of essays by a historian I respect and whose work I enjoy should be right up my alley. Now it’s just a matter of tracking down a copy.
I’ve added this to my own TBR as well! I love essays. They are my favorite non-fiction format. Plus, who doesn’t love reading about books?!
How do you select which book you will share? What allows for the randomness of this post series?
Basically, I look at my Goodreads TBR and use the first one that catches my eye, assuming I haven’t showcased it before.
Good on you! I wouldn’t ever be able to keep track of all this. XD Keep it up! I love learning about the books on your TBR.
Will do! Thanks!
