pickOn paper this should have been right up my alley - at marys‘s style writing and the recall of the knights of the round table to help save the realm. Plenty of in jokes, nods to the myths and general shenanigans ensue. And yet for that I found it a bit too full - I would have enjoyed the myth bits on their own, ditto the strong eco-warming and female strengths but all together it read a bit like all the books the author wanted to write
My local indie bookstore/game shop has a summer reading challenge and it's has motivated me to actually read the books I buy. 😅
My goal is to complete the whole bingo card, and I have until the end of August.
I've got ten physical books, one audiobook, and one book on kindle left to read.
It's been fun discovering new books and finally reading the books I already have.
Currently reading: Perilous Times(15), Ninefox Gambit(25), Stardust(17)

Travelling through the bookshops of North England for a few days, so I'm going to "taste" a lot of books and might finish the books in the picture above.
?Perilous Times = Dystopian UF with the knights of the Round Table having to rescue Britain from peril [ARC (meanwhile published)]
?The Good, The Bad and The History = 14th Chronicles of St Mary's book, read the ARC, am now listening to the audiobook
My May Goldsboro book arrived and it's absolutely glorious! 😍📚💕 Plus, I didn't realize that it's like a modern day story featuring King Arthur's knights and now I'm even more excited to read it! #goldsboro #goldsborobooks
pickArthur‘s knights of the round table are called back from their slumber when Britain is in need. This time, Kay wakes to find an island in the grips of a climate crisis and does what he can to help. But he‘s not the only one who is back….
A really good fantasy book that‘s filled with humour but deals with a very real issue too. I was hooked by this and thought the premise was just brilliant.
Recommended!
.......and suddenly two arrive at once!!!!
May's GSFF pick looks pretty funky! I wasn't expecting it to turn up today!! 😄
panI wrestled and struggled with this historical fiction fantasy. The premise was promising. The Knights of the Round Table were given immortality by Merlin and live under their own tree to be brought back when Britain is in peril. The peril here is global warming, but there are mentions of others throughout history. While the knights and their contemporaries are essential characters, Mariam, a young rebel fighting against power mongers, really 🔻
