My score reeked. Quite a few are on my TBR; I just haven't read them yet. Three faves:
1. THE ONCE AND FUTURE KING: “The fantastic thing about war was that it was fought about nothing--literally nothing.“
2. OUTLANDER (called CROSS STITCH in the UK): “I am your master…and you're mine. Seems I canna possess your soul without losing my own.“
3. THE 39 STEPS: “The men who knew that he knew what he knew had found him.”

ChaoticMissAdventures I am trying to get to once and future king I think this summer, I have had it for years and just have not gotten around to it. 1d
rubyslippersreads One of my favorite books. 1d
DGRachel I didn‘t realize Cross Stitch was Outlander! That brings my dismal total up to 16. 🤪 1d

The Quest for Merlin | Nikolai Tolstoy
post image

Random book from our home library:

📖 The Quest for Merlin by Nikolai Tolstoy

Bookwomble I have this one, too 😊 I read it in the '80s during my peak Arthurian phase, so it's a bit hazy now, but I remember enjoying it. Have you read the tagged? It's Tolstoy's fantasy retelling of the Merlin story based on Welsh traditions, and I really enjoyed this one. It was intended as the first in a trilogy, which was sadly sidelined when he lost a libel suit. 2d
bibliothecarivs @Bookwomble, I have not read that one. Your description made me think of The Crystal Cave by Mary Stewart, which I did read about 30 years ago for school and enjoyed. (edited) 2d

Morgan Is My Name | Sophie Keetch

Loved this. Eons ago at university I did a half module on Arthurian legend of which I remember almost nothing! This story of the youngest daughter of the Duke of Cornwall fighting against a genuinely evil stepfather, seeking knowledge to heal to take control of her own destiny was a fabulous rich story and the introduction of Arthur‘s hints for interesting things ahead in this trilogy
