Ok, so no one broke the tie so I took the initiative to choose a genre.
I chose this one because we did fiction for the past two months and now it’s time for some non-fiction.
I don’t have any suggestions, but thought of it when in one thread a few posters were recommending books on the history of housework and other such fascinating subjects.
I would also love books on things like mafia, Freemasons, the history of theater, etc

I loved Gluckel of Hamelin.
She was a very strong and intelligent woman who lived in Germany in the 1600s. I loved getting an insight to her era, and it amazed me how some things just never changed over the past few centuries. Her diary reads almost like a novel, and her life story is definitely fiction worthy.

I would love to reread Gluckel of Hamelin and discuss it. Amazing book.
