Welcome to Litsy!

Decent read. It's good as a broad introduction to the history of the Normans. The book covers several different historical events, such as William the Conqueror, the Norman conquest of Sicily, and the 1st Crusade. However, I feel that the author tries to cover too much material in too short of a book. As a result, several events aren't covered in as much detail as they could've been.

My score is 11/100 and none of them stands out as a particular favorite. Yes, I‘m counting that I watched The Longest Day when I was eight years old, even though I slept through most of it. Perhaps I‘ll revisit it now that I understand the subject matter more! #TLT

Here‘s my review for this book I DNF‘d. I‘m counting this book for #bookspinbingo. I‘m glad I got it off of my list.

I finally started this book while I finished coloring a picture on my iPad. So far, it‘s interesting. I like the narrator‘s voice but I felt like it was too slow so I sped it up from 1.00x to 1.25x and it‘s better. I don‘t feel like I‘m going to fall asleep listening to the narrator now but I don‘t feel like I‘m invested in the story yet.

I decided that I‘m going to read this book from my #bookspinbingo list next. I haven‘t started reading it yet. I need to start it soon though because the longest amount of time I have to read this book from Libby is 14 days. I need to find out if I‘m going to like this book or not. That way if I don‘t like it, I can DNF it and move on to something else. I wanted to start it last night but it was too late.

This was one of the first things I saw when I went to the New York Times app this morning. How terribly sad. There are only 48 D-Day survivors left, the youngest one being 98 years old.🥺
