Photograph of a book on a wooden windowsill, the cover is coloured lapis blue and golden yellow, the title Between Two Rivers winds across the jacket in a ribbon and between it are riverine swirling patterns.

Wonderful book post!
Have now finished brilliant #BetweenTwoRivers by @moudhy.bsky.social which is out in Feb and all history fans should pre-order, and am diving into this fantastic account of the life & afterlife of the Great Auk, out in March
📚
Photo of two proof copies of books lying on a blue & yellow wool blanket. The top book is "The Great Auk: It's Extraordinary Life, Hideous Death and Mysterious Afterlife" by Tim Birkhead which has a painting of Great Auks diving under the sea on the cover, and the one underneath is "Between Two Rivers" by Moudhy Al-Rashid, which has stylised drawing of a sinuous river and landscape.

I just finished the book Between Two Rivers by @moudhy.bsky.social, and boy what a journey it was. I've always been fascinated by archaeology, and generally the older the subject, the more fascinating.

This took things to a whole new level.

#BetweenTwoRivers
The book Between Two Rivers opened with the last page of the Epiloge visible.

I have. I ordered #betweenTwoRivers by @moudhy.bsky.social just because I saw it praised here repeatedly (and because it is on a subject that fascinates me deeply).

I remember when @moudhy.bsky.social mentioned that she was going to write a book. Yesterday, I listened in on a discussion she had with @digital-hammurabi.bsky.social and am so glad I was able to do so.

Let's start this #onehourread with a new book #BetweenTwoRivers.

Psst Doc @moudhy.bsky.social

Look what arrived in my small rural town located between two rivers toasting of miles from the focal point of your book!!

@moudhy.bsky.social, I'm currently reading your book and it's the first time I think I have encountered Gilgamesh. Now this, I feel my life could have been richer had I known this legend as a child
