@RichardBHistory I loved this! I read Afua Hirsch's Brit(ish) a few weeks ago - will bring it next time I see you if you fancy reading it.

@MathewJLyons If you're interested in graphic novels, I would shout my recommendations for Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi (Iran) and Heimat by Nora Krug (Germany) from the rooftops.

@lottelydia I also found Gerda Lerner's 'Why History Matters' incredible for perspectives on women's (production and use of) public history.

😍 Can't wait for this. Currently reading A Thousand Ships, just in time for the new series starting with Helen of Troy. Highly recommend catching past episodes on BBC sounds https://t.co/inSaYmxzJM https://t.co/lViZsfnFyN

I love Cillian Murphy's shows on @BBC6Music. Last night's (recorded 2019) had a literary theme, and he was joined by Max Porter, author of Lanny & Grief is a Thing with Feathers. Two of my fave reads from last few years 📚 Great grey morning listen. https://t.co/lNRMtgYZrX
