When I knew that we were going to Britain, I wanted to learn more about the country and the history. So I decided to read my way through British history from as far back as I could go to the present. The books I chose were based on what I already had in my kindle library for free, what I could get for cheap or free and what I really wanted to read and was willing to pay for. And also, what I felt like reading at the time. Here's the list:
