pickI would‘ve loved this book even more as a child (I‘ve been a medieval nerd my entire life). Young Crispin must make his way in the world during a frightening time. When he meets a stranger in an abandoned village destroyed by the plague, his life changes in a way he never imagined.
pickThis was an interesting read. Although it didn‘t have me on the edge of my seat like I expected to. Overall it was very enjoyable to read. I would recommend if you‘re into supernatural reads. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Started this one today and it‘s as unhinged as I was expecting and then some. 😵💫
pickUnlike the publishers blurb I wouldn‘t call this thrilling. The pace of the story is slow, but very readable and did an excellent job of wrapping up the stories and lives of the Essex Dogs. I‘ll miss them all. In this final entry in the trilogy, Britain, having barely survived the Black Death, is threatened by the Castilians. A great final sea battle. Jones leaves some characters stories unresolved. Maybe we‘ll find ourselves with another novel?
pick5 Stars • 1920s Los Angeles: A glamorous socialite Mirielle West is suddenly diagnosed with leprosy and exiled to the national leprosarium in Carville, Louisiana. Stripped of her privileged life, she enters a hidden world of patients society has rejected, where she must confront stigma, loss, and her own flaws while discovering resilience and unexpected connections. A moving historical novel about the real history of America‘s only leprosy colony.
pick4.5⭐️ I know that this book is considered to be quite divisive and readers really like it or really don‘t like it, but I really like it. There were lots of things that I liked about and it didn‘t hurt that I learned something about Canadian history that I didn‘t know about until I read this book. #2025 #bookclub #basedonatruestory #historicalfiction
