Woman, Captain, Rebel: The Extraordinary True Story of a Daring Icelandic Sea Captain | Margaret Willson

I got the tagged book for Christmas (my sister is awesome) and used some of my Christmas gift card on the other three (my dad is also awesome). I‘ve been waiting forever to get this Riordan but now I have to wait on the new Percy books to come out in paperback 😢 and I decided to bite the bullet on Bride. I‘ve liked everything else I‘ve read by AH (which is everything but Check & Mate, which I‘m currently reading) so we‘ll see. #bookhaul

Women in the Valley of the Kings: The Untold Story of Women Egyptologists in the Gilded Age | Kathleen Sheppard

pick

Tells the history of women egyptologists whose work usually gets left out of history. I had a little trouble keeping track of people because I listened to the audiobook, but it was still good.

Queens Consort: England's Medieval Queens from Eleanor of Aquitaine to Elizabeth of York | Lisa Hilton

so-so

A fascinating work exploring the queens of Medieval England from Matilda of Flanders through to Elizabeth of York.

Very interesting! Dense, and I would have appreciated it more dipping in and out instead of reading it straight through. The best part though is the conclusion which examines the historical queens through the fictional lenses of Beowulf and Mallory‘s Arthurian saga. 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑

The Weekend | Charlotte Wood

so-so

Playing catch up here as I got a new phone and can't download the Litsy app, thus using the desktop site!
Very keen to read this but it took a bit of perseverance. The characters all seemed self involved and critical of each other, hardly friendly... But I did stick with it and enjoyed the overall story.

Cathythoughts New phone ! My biggest nightmare, I hope it‘s sorted for you now 👍🏻 6d
