Here is the link to my September 24, 2018, Twitter thread review of the book The Lives of the Kings and Queens of England, edited by Antonia Fraser.

7/30/17 review of book The Queen City: A History of Denver

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the book The Queen City: A History of Denver, by Lyle W. Dorsett and Michael McCarthy.

The thread goes into some depth on the context of the book and how I received the book (inherited from my grandparents after my step-grandma passed away). The thread discusses how the book explores issues such as civic administration, resources, and equitability. It discusses the book's humanist themes. It gives some criticisms of the book, including what feel like holes in the story. It also criticizes the book for not including some folks in Denver as fully as it could or should have.
