So excited for these historical fiction prompts. March, May and June are books that are on my shelves and I‘ve been wanting to try a Gortner and found it on Libby. Win win.

Thanks @Cuilin

Aiofe here is very different than she appears in The Scarlet Lion, Chadwick‘s book on William Marshall. There Aiofe is a bitter and mad mother-in-law. We leave her in The Irish Princess in Striguil, a young mother determined to live her live unmarried & protect her children‘s inheritance. There is a large gap between these portraits. That is interesting. But so was this book of her life from birth to young widowhood. It was well-written. 4/5

Well these were defo #blameitonlitsy buys! Or, to be more specific, blame it on @TrishB ? Just kidding! At only Qa each on Amazon, it‘s worth it. I can‘t wait to read em! ?

Great paperback offer today. @Caroline2 😁

Went in the library to grab one audiobook (came out with 3) and grabbed this too. 😬 couldn't help myself.

I have been craving some good historical fiction for a while now - it‘s because I‘m very fussy about time periods and authors.
Love Chadwick and love books set in Henry II period (with a little cameo from William Marshall). A great read stayed up past my bed time to finish!

I basically just want to read all my birthday presents!!
Started The Irish Princess this morning. The rest of the week may come from these! Back in work and out two nights this week, limited reading time. 😕
