This is a cool tag! You’re right that you do learn a bit about Newton as you read the tag. Loved Good Omens. I haven’t read as much Terry Pratchett as I’d like. I feel like he’s an author I need to catch up on.

@@BandysBooks I still have so many Pratchett's left to read, he wrote so many. The City Watch series is my favourite and I always think they are the best to start with.
Hi Aaron, I hope you enjoyed the tag. Still new to all this business so I did not know I had to answer my own questions! Ha ha. You gave great answers. Slipping in Napoleon Bonaparte was a classy move. Best wishes and I hope you are reading something good.

I think some answer their own ones and some don't. I liked learning more about Newton!
I enjoyed your answers!
Interesting idea, questions and answers! The book about time sounds really fascinating - something we really take advantage of being able to easily measure now.

It's such a weird concept to us now, but so important that we know what the time is! You should read it and then come to Greenwich and we can do a tour of the Royal Observatory!
Hi Aaron, you've really got me interested in Longitude, Ashley Weaver book, and Terry Pratchett. 💛

All good things!
This has nothing to do with the tag, but I just wanted to mention that I read about the new series about the Mitford girls ("Outrageous") that is going into production and will be shown sometime in 2025. It's just very odd that they never did one before, it's such a natural subject. I was checking out the pictures of the actresses playing the Mitfords and they seem to be good matches, except I think the one for Jessica is a little "off." I think the actor for Oswald Mosley is a good pick but I don't remember what the other men in the Mitford circle looked like. Did you read about this?

I have heard about it, and agree it's odd that they haven't made one before given the enduring fascination with them. Perhaps Peaky Blinders helped. I'm going to read their letters before i watch it,
Do you think Terry Pratchett is on a par with P.G. Wodehouse for his use of language? I personally do but suspect some might disagree.

Probably not quite on par for me, but I think I am generally bias towards older style language. I think he definitely paved the way for my love of that type of writing.
