Welcome to Litsy!

This year's installment of my annual Last Kingdom fest. ☺️
Are the stories getting formulaic by now? Pretty much, yeah.
Is Uhtred a posturing self-mythologiser? I'd say he matches the description, yes.
Did I thoroughly enjoy these past few days in his company? Absolutely!

👋 *waving at Uhtred from my sofa and a thousand years' distance*

Happy solstice to all who celebrate! ☀️
There's fruit cake, oranges, nuts, Uhtred of Bebbanburg... what more can you ask?
(Uhtred would prefer fewer books and more ale. 🙄)

A book and a bath. Been looking forward to this all day.

Year 910AD and England had been peaceful for 10 years, but the Danes and the Saxons are both plotting. Number 7 of 13 books in The Last Kingdom Series. This is my first book of the series and first Bernard Cornwell book. I loved it and Uhtred as a character. I am going to start at the beginning of the series. So happy to have found a new series. This book never stopped. The pace was tight and moved rapidly. The details. Astonishing. 4.5/5

Another solid book in the series. Although it basically follows the same pattern as the previous books, it's always nice to return to Uhtred's world.

good

Congratulations @Mitch !! I love the Saxon Tales series but have gotten behind! I‘d love the tagged book, which is no. 7 of 10 books he‘s written in the series. #completetheseries Thank you for the giveaway!!

Finished this one, not one of the best in the series, but still good.

It's snowing!! ❄️🌨️ Glad I don't have to go anywhere today, so I'm hiding under my blanket with my book. 😊

Some lazy Sunday afternoon reading 😊 I love this series.
