Welcome to Litsy!

Audible had a sale. These are the books I bought last week.

At the start of their sales I scroll through all the books. I copy the covers of the books I‘m interested in to my camera roll. Then I decide how much I can spend and start deleting. I usually end up with more than I can afford so I start checking the library apps.

The last 2 bios that I read were 2 of the books I couldn‘t afford.

Does anyone else do something like this?

Second in his magnificent Arthurian trilogy, and this one is even better than the first, perhaps because we plunge straight into the psychodrama of Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot and Mordred, without the stage-setting that made volume 1's first 50 pages a bit stodgy. Merlin continues to steal every scene he appears in.

Painfully slow. I was so looking forward to it after reading The Winter King, but although Cornwell conjures his worlds with a vivid authenticity (fusing myth and fact into believable History) this one drags.

After finishing the first two books in this series on audio in 3 days, I realized after some investigation that I listened to the abridged versions by mistake 😡. Now I can't decide whether to go back and listen to the full versions or what. I kept thinking it felt like something was missing even though the story was good.
