“...The women were already drawing lots for you when you left."
Only the ladies?
”No.”

This series is actually pretty queer from the start, but I wasn‘t expecting it so assumed all these bits were an accident or a joke.

The second I finished The Lymond Chronicles I wanted to start over at the beginning, but considering these books took over my life for months it was… daunting.
Turns out David Monteith is one of the few solo narrators I can get into. Listening to his performance is a lot like watching a Shakespeare play for the first time. Just because you follow while reading doesn‘t mean you GET IT.
Going with some epic historical fiction this weekend…
I‘ve been wanting to reread the Lymond Chronicles since I finished them but those books are a COMMITMENT. Now I‘m listening to the audiobooks which, while not usually my preferred format, is very handy and entertaining in this instance!
New episode just posted! This week we're talking Matt's chili recipe, reading emails, shouting out used bookstores, picking books to read in January, and discussing the great Olga Tokarczuk novel, “Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead.“ Just an overall jam-packed episode. Enjoy!

Took a couple days off from reading (migraine and new nephew, respectively) and come back to see I‘ve done it again.
1. I own 4 sets of Dorothy Dunnett‘s Lymond Chronicles (book one of three of the sets pictured) and two sets of her series The House of Niccolo.
2. They are historical fiction at its finest.
3. I would love to own a beautiful set of all the Jane Austen novels.
