Welcome to mybooksandthings I will be using this site to review and comment on books that I have read and those that I would like to read but have not had the chance yet.
My favorite books tend to be Historical novels, especially about the Romans,Vikings,Dark ages and Medieval period. My present library and other items that I have collected over the years has grown and has now reached a point where some serious downsizing has to be started before my Wife orders a skip and does it for me.
I will therefore be selling some of the books and items that are discussed on this website via ebay, so look for the link, give it a click and please put in a bid and help me in my mission to downsize, before the skip arrives.
The majority of the books I will be selling will only have been read once and will be in good condition.
The other articles that appear on this website will be on things that interest me and I hope may interest you, if they do let me know, your opinion will always be welcome.

Steven Saylor is another of my favourite historical novel writers and I have read the majority of his Roman Sub Rosa series that this novel is part of. If you have never read any of these books but enjoy reading books about the Romans and their way of life, then I highly recommend you start with this one and I guarantee you will be looking out for another.The books tell stories about a Roman citizen called Gordianus the Finder who is a private investigator, something like Sherlock Holmes who gets involved with all levels of Roman society giving a vivid picture of day to day life in this ancient society as well as solving complex puzzles.

Arms Of Nemesis – In this book Gordianus the Finder has the fateful task of resolving this riddle from Hades. In a house owned by the wealthiest citizen of Rome he finds a house full of secrets, the truth is slow to emerge, and Gordianus realizes that the labyrinthine path he has chosen may lead to his own destruction. Click on the link below if you would like to purchase this book at a very reasonable price and also help my downsizing project.
