I always seem to have a few books on the go when I'm busy...
Lonely Planet Rome

The Age of Wonder: How the Romantic Generation Discovered the Beauty and Terror of Science - Richard Holmes

This is my pick for an unlikely travel book - alongside the scientific advances there are travelogues from the age of exploration that defy the conventions of later imperial expeditions, and even the first hot air balloon adventures. Plenty to inspire wanderlust!

Thanksgiving: The Holiday at the Heart of the American Experience - Melanie Kirkpatrick

A Million Years in a Day: A Curious History of Daily Life - Greg Jenner

Under the Knife: A History of Surgery in 28 Remarkable Operations - Arnold van de Laar

The Rituals of Dinner - Margaret Visser

War, disability and rehabilitation in Britain: 'Soul of a nation' - Julie Anderson

Out of Sorts: Making Peace with an Evolving Faith - Sarah Bessey
