The Starving Saints: A Novel | Caitlin Starling

An easy pick for June! Truly one of the strangest books I've ever read, but I was all in for this medieval sapphic cannibalism horror where one of the main villains is a crack in the wall. #12booksof2025 @TheEllieMo

Green Knight (Movie Tie-In) | Anonymous

My third year starting Sir Gawain during Christmastide, fifth reading overall, and fourth translation. As you can see behind the book, there's no snow on the ground today (Dec 29) here in northern Utah, USA, a place that someone once told me was 'the great white north'.

BookmarkTavern Oof! Also in northern Utah, and I was so irritated with our high 50s on Christmas Day! 2d

Finally started this series, about William Marshall. This book is the story of his father John, who served Matilda during the Civil War against Stephen. One gets a glimpse of the character of young William when he is taken hostage by Stephen. Look forward to the next one

Life in a Medieval City | Frances Gies, Joseph Gies

I think I‘d like to explore Frances Gies‘ series of books on medieval life next year. Apparently my 2018 self had the same idea, because I bought this book on a $1.99 Kindle deal back in March 2018, but never read it. I was just reminded by Amazon that I already own it. So, Merry Christmas to me, I guess!

Ruthiella It happens! 😅 1w
