Good morning everyone and happy Tuesday. We have four more days until the Easter holidays so I’m making the most of the peace and reading while I can.
Today on Two For Tuesday I’m featuring two new Non Fiction Books I’ve bought recently. Tomb With A View is our book club pick this month and I’m excited to read it as I’ve heard lots of good things about it. The Seven Ages Of Death is a book I saw reviewed on here and I was instantly intrigued as I’m always fascinated by pathology in books.
Do you read Non Fiction?Any recommendations for me?
A Tomb With A View by Peter Ross
Enter a grave new world of fascination and delight as award-winning writer Peter Ross uncovers the stories and glories of graveyards. Who are London’s outcast dead and why is David Bowie their guardian angel? What is the remarkable truth about Phoebe Hessel, who disguised herself as a man to fight alongside her sweetheart, and went on to live in the reigns of five monarchs? Why is a Bristol cemetery the perfect wedding venue for goths?
All of these sorrowful mysteries – and many more – are answered in A Tomb With A View, a book for anyone who has ever wandered through a field of crooked headstones and wondered about the lives and deaths of those who lie beneath.
The Seven Ages Of Death by Dr Richard Shepherd
Dr Richard Shepherd, a medical detective and Britain’s top forensic pathologist, shares twenty-four of his most intriguing, enlightening and never-before-told cases.
These autopsies, spanning the seven ages of human existence, uncover the secrets not only of how a person died, but also of how they lived.
From old to young, murder to misadventure, and illness to accidental death, each body has something to reveal – about its owner’s life story, how we age, justice, society, the certainty of death.
And, above all, the wonderful marvel of life itself.

I do occasionally read non fiction. I loved Tomb with a View, a fascinating read. He’s got a new book coming out very soon which I’m looking forward to reading.
