resolution for 2020: read more books in welsh again and up the post-colonial writing and just keep reading in general
#i wish i had read more books in 2019#but one of them took me 4 months to finish because it was bloody long#that book could have done with a ruthless editor telling the historian to rope it in#reading#books

mhplanet replied to your post “books read in 2018”
Number 18 looks like my sort of book.
it’s a good one. unfortunately, she concentrated on the newtown/welshpool/berwyns area. nothing to find out about the situation here in mach. i can still recommend it highly, though, simply for the well-done research and easily accessible style of writing.
