Ironfire: A Novel of the Knights of Malta and the Last Battle of the Crusades | David W. Ball

pick

I finally finished this behemoth. It was lent to me by a friend and it was good.. ish? I give it a 3.5/5. I loved the character building of Maria, independent Maltese peasant caught between her duty to her father and her desire to escape the island. I also loved the story of Nico, her Christian brother abducted, who ends up a respected Muslim commander in the Sultan‘s fleet. I only wish there was last battle and more character development.

I seem to be spending a lot of time in coffee shops lately. I‘m so grateful to have time to savour begin alone. 💛🌿

readherwriteher And what are you drinking? I don‘t drink Tim‘s coffee but my son loves their dark roast and my husband enjoys the regular roast. 6y

Jabberwocky @readherwriteher I either drink their apple cinnamon tea which I would have to buy large quantities of if ever I were to leave the country, or regular roast coffee with cream and sugar. 6y

kidamy @Jabberwocky If you were to leave, I'm sure some of us fellow Canadians would be happy to send care packages! 💕💕💕 6y

Jabberwocky @kidamy ❤️❤️❤️ 6y

Happy happy. 😌

Laura317 Is Tim Horton a Canada thing? I keep seeing it in Louise Penny books. 6y

Jabberwocky @Laura317 Yes! 😅 It is a coffee and doughnut shop that was actually opened by a hockey player in the 60‘s. Think Starbucks but significantly less expensive and more pastries 6y

Clwojick @Laura317 Tims coffee is amazing, and I guess I should really should get around to finally reading some Louis Penny books. I‘ve heard good things, but now that I know she writes about Tims coffee I know I‘ll love her. Hahah ♥️ @Jabberwocky did you roll up and win a car? Lol 6y

Jabberwocky @Clwojick No, but I did win a 🍩 😍 6y

Laura317 @Jabberwocky @Clwojick I‘m fascinated with all things Canadian (Canadien?). Especially when I read about the Canadian Tire store, which sells way more than tires! 6y

drokka I liked the beginning of this book. I had to return it to the library before I got it done and haven't been able to get back to it. 6y

Jabberwocky @drokka It‘s really good, but also super long. It‘s vaguely reminiscent of the pillars of the earth series. 6y

Andrea4 @Laura317 😂 Canadian Tire also has it's own money...vaguely reminiscent of Monopoly money. 6y

Laura317 @Andrea4 Now THAT is crazy! (And kinda cool). 6y

You are 2 hours early to work. Do you:
A) Go in early and accomplish things?
Or
B) Sit and sip a fancy coffee and snack on some melon and read?

It‘s a real head scratcher 😅 #bookwormproblems

DivaDiane How do you get to work 2 hours early?!? 6y

Jabberwocky @DivaDiane My partner and I are sharing a car right now, so alas here I am 😆 6y

Kaye That melon looks so good. Reminds me of summertime. 6y

DivaDiane @Jabberwocky Ah... you made it sound a bit accidental! 😂 6y

Q84 Definitely read would be my choice! I've been there. Sharing a car can be a lot of extra reading time! 6y

ephemeralwaltz Easy choice!😂 6y
