pickThis 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!
An easy choice for May for #12Booksof2024
Mary Jane was a superb audiobook, and really enjoyed the story, one of those books where audiobooks can make all the difference.
I also chose a physical read book, which was a lovely historical fiction about soldiers last letters from WWI - this book really needs more attention and I really enjoyed it. The type of book that stays with you.
This is my #Roll100 books for January. My list this year is to hopefully clear out some shelf space for books I was gifted and haven‘t read yet. @PuddleJumper
so-soEnding the year on a bit of a mediocre note. 'The Winter Ghosts' was atmospheric and 'How my Neighbour Stole Christmas' was funny. However, neither really captured my attention... I think I'm falling into a reading slump ... I need something strong to start the New Year.
Yeah it is Monday morning and I get to start a new book.
I spent a wonderful time in June devouring this one. It‘s comedic, has a bit of mystery, and debuts a wonderfully original heroine who goes against social customs in Regency England. And, gasp, she‘s happy to be a spinster. Until, at least, a dangerous rogue crosses her path (note: this is not a romance, though there is a dash). I laughed, took down quotes, and enjoyed this one. Hope book two comes out soon! #12BooksOf2024
My choice for June is Clear. Beautiful writing, in depth characterization, imaginative, at its root a historical fact. 💛
My favourite read of June. This one is quite an odd book, that appears to be centred around the Highland clearances of the 18th/19th century, but also looks at relationships and loneliness. It packs a lot in to a short novel.
