Staff Book Review by Connor

The Storm Before the Storm: The Beginning of the End of the Roman Republic by Mike Duncan Julius Caesar, Cicero, Marc Antony, Cleopatra, and Octavian; the figures that dominated the period as Rome transitioned from Republic to Empire will echo through history. It is one of the most widely studied periods in Western History and yet it was only the culmination of over a hundred years of political upheaval. In Storm Before the Storm , Mike Duncan, from the hit podcast “History of Rome,” covers this often-overlooked period in Roman history. Beginning with the reforms of the Gracchi Brothers through to the devastating Civil War between Marius and Sulla, Duncan crafts an epic narrative of how a republic can slip into tyranny. From political battles in the forum, to military conquests across the Mediterranean, Storm is an exciting and easy read, suitable for beginner and expert alike. To read the ebook CLICK HERE

Staff Book Review by Liz

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman "The moment hung in time like a drop of honey from a spoon, heavy, golden. Despite covering some very complex themes, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine is actually an uplifting story about one women's journey back into the world of love and self-acceptance. A social misfit with a traumatic past, the novel follows the interior workings of Eleanor's mind as she is determined to find her way out of isolation and into the world we call "mainstream". Quirkiness and deadpan humor abound as the novel begs the question what it really means to be human. A light read, that touches upon universal truths everyone can relate to, I highly recommend this book for it's portrayal of what it means to persevere!
