Good old Uhtred; he never fails to deliver! He struts about, trips over his humongous ego at least once per book, gets all uppity with King Alfred, does "the right thing" in spite of himself, and always saves the day.

In recent years it has become a tradition of mine to read the next in the series between the winter solstice and New Year.
(Whatever floats your longboat...) I'm much obliged to BorrowBox this year. ?

jhod Love borrowbox too 😃 2y

At last, Uhtred son of Uhtred!
The presents are wrapped: now nothing can come between us... until tomorrow when I need to make the Christmas pudding (it's a "magic" recipe, done in the microwave: worked a treat last year)!

BarbaraBB Christmas pudding in the microwave, wow! I used to make one I started baking weeks before Christmas, adding alcohol each day (I think) 🤣 2y
quietlycuriouskate @BarbaraBB I know, right: it's downright heretical but it's a genius of a recipe! (I shall add the alcohol to me, instead. 😉) Wishing you a marvellous Christmas-time! 2y
BarbaraBB You too 😘 2y

Happy Solstice, all ye who celebrate!
I made a caraway rye bread, rum and raisin fruitcake, and a spiced apple hot toddy. And, to top it off, BorrowBox had my next "Uhtred book" (tagged) available, so I can partake of another of my Solstice traditions! ?

DivineDiana Impressive baking! 2y

For once, it took me some time to get into this. But as always, this is a very easy, entertaining and fast read. Bring on the next one.

This was fun last week, so here‘s my #weeklyforecast. Hope to finish The Burning Land today or tomorrow. And I am really looking forward to properly dig into The Other Americans.

"What was in that Thiftbooks package the other day?" you ask. I'll tell you. It was the tagged book, the fifth in this series. Now I finally own the full collection (for now, the next one will be released in January) of my all time favorite book series. I feel like my tattoo is earned now. Yes, I have a quote from this series tattooed on my right arm.

kristincatastrophic Ahhh!!! The Pagan Lord isn't in the picture! Crap, crap, crap. Oh well, I'm not going to bother retaking it... you guys get the idea. I'm not even sure it would've fit in the picture. 6y
