- Reposted by LivingstansThe Ark and the Empire, first book in the Shards trilogy (pub by @headofzeus.bsky.social), by @michaellivingston.com, is a great blend between history and myth; a pageturner that gives a fantastical spin over a key moment of Roman history. Full thoughts: jamreads.com/reviews/the-... 💙📚
- Reposted by LivingstansJust an unbelievable story, right? (So glad you’re enjoying it!)
- @michaellivingston.com just reached the point in “The Two Hundred Years War” (incredible, 10/10) in the siege of Orléans where the cannoneer’s kid no-scopes the Earl of Salisbury in the tower window and I AM HOLLERING
- Reposted by LivingstansIt’s hard to promote anything with all that’s going on, but if you’re looking for an escape, my first novel was just re-released. It’s beautifiul and I’m very proud of it: Julius Caesar is dead, assassinated on the senate floor, and the glory that is Rome has been torn in two... ⚔️ bit.ly/3MmhFCZ 🦅

- Reposted by LivingstansI am really enjoying "Bloody Crowns" by @michaellivingston.com . Super dense, as he's covering an incredibly dense era, but gripping and easy to follow. I also can't get the phrase "wet gap" out of my head. Absolutely recommend it to anyone with even a passing interest in medieval history.
- Reposted by LivingstansSo many great books. And mine, too!
- 2025 in Books. Today we're looking back on all the general military titles we published this year! You can see the full list on the blog: bit.ly/4pLKw2m

- “The author’s training as both scholar and storyteller shapes his execution effectively. His command of archival material—royal letters, treaties, chronicles, and the practical minutiae of campaigns—anchors the narrative, while his instinct for structure keeps it readable.”

- We’re excited to read Bloody Crowns by @michaellivingston.com. ⚔️ #Livingstans #HistoryNerd #Booksky
- Reposted by Livingstans“at the end of this long lovely book, I keep coming back to how compelling I find Livingston’s revision of how we think about big sweeping demarcations of time.” I worry a lot about alienating academics when I do popular work. Seeing this review from such accomplished scholars … I’m speechless.
- NEW POST: In Bloody Crowns, @michaellivingston.com argues that the "Hundred Years War" is really a two hundred years, and was started by the French, fought in what today we call France, and won by people who got to define what France would be. - from me and @profgabriele.com
- “Only a man would think the gods are all men.” “Some of them are women?” “And some are neither.” “Neither?” “Or both.” Iceborn by @michaellivingston.com

- Just finished @michaellivingston.com's #Seaborn book! During my last schizoaffective episode, I lost the joy of reading. I usually rely on YA to get me back into reading after episodes, but this is perfect too! It's paced well to get you motivated to read, and it's an easy read to build confidence.
