pickI'm enjoying the Captain Alatriste historical adventure series, set in 17th century Spain. This 2nd book deals with the Spanish Inquisition's persecution of those with Jewish blood -- some serious themes mixed in with swashbuckling fun.
I'd read this for May's #FoodandLit challenge. My husband and I visited Barcelona last fall and loved the offerings at the pincho bars, so I included a couple of photos here. @Catsandbooks @Texreader
OMG the tension! I know from experience that Duncan can kill off his Blades and now they‘re going into a parallel Russia where a despot Czar rules and his son, who‘s even worse, is just waiting to take over. The Czarina and her sister, betrothed to the King of Chivial, live on a knife‘s edge
I like Smith‘s Sartorias-deles series and was recommended this series. I recently read ‘Prisoner of Zenda‘ 💔and I really enjoyed Smith‘s ‘Crown & Court‘. I‘m I the mood for a fantasy with a (clean) romance so this is my first pick for the year. Nearly halfway through and enjoying it.
Kim is in Europe trying to solve the family mystery of where her mum and gran came from. She‘s mistaken for missing royalty and finds answers - and more questions
pickI decided to read this historical fiction novel set in 1623 Madrid while I was visiting the city on my recent vacation. The photos are all from the Royal Palace.
I really enjoyed this fast-paced adventure story, filled with interesting historical details and likable characters, and I've put the next book in the series on my TBR.
