Despite being a self-proclaimed history nerd, and despite this being arguably the most popular history subject: I actually have read little about World War 2. I'm more of a WW1 enthusiast, and in fact it's my favorite history subject.
But this year I've been slowly reading up more about World War 2. Today I picked up a book on the subject, while also currently reading another WW2 book.

It keeps prefacing claims with "some scholars" and "some experts" without either identifying them or citing actual sources. Bruh. #bookstodon #bookwormph #worldBookDay

This should've been yesterday during World Book Day. But now I finally got to bring my top 3 books out once again.
It's been years since I've read these, but even after hundreds of other books read these are still my all-time favorites.
The King's Two Bodies
Ernst Kantorowicz
The Sleepwalkers
Christopher Clark
The Dark Valley

Happy World Book Day!
Here's a stack of some of my favorite books. I will try to talk about them in the future.
But in general, in this account I will be posting my thoughts on books I'm reading and have read. They can be rather rough and incoherent. But to me, what matters is I get to express myself more often.
Cheers!
