We all love to travel, to new places, new cities in cars, buses, caravans, by air, by the sea but I have travelled everyday since I was ten through books. I have let the ocean kiss my feet on the Coast of Ipanema and nosed around in Calgary and my travel expenses have never been more than the price of a McDonald Cheese Burger. Here's my travelogue where books can be found through the countries they have taken me to. The reviews are not professional and definitely not worth putting into a book review assignment for school! They are just a string of words that tell you what I felt when I travelled to a certain place. If it suits you, you go and book yourself a trip. If not, well...we'll keep it there!

Horemheb: The Forgotten PharaohHoremheb: The Forgotten Pharaoh by Charlotte Booth
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have NEVER before read a history book I have enjoyed this much! The story of Horemheb is not a new one in the annals of the world. You'll find that there were so many leaders in the past you can compare to this old soldier-turned-pharaoh. The tale of an ordinary soldier who slowly makes his way up the ladder in the Eighteenth Dynasty, Horemheb can be compared to characters like Chandragupta Maurya, Ala-ud-din Khalji, Bairam Khan, Cardinal Wolsey and so many others. A must read for anyone who enjoys history.
