I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.
This is day 150

pickI really liked the medieval setting and the characters but the plot draggged too much and it was a bit predictable. Still enjoyed it tho. 👍 #scaryscavengerhunt (with a witch in it) #scarathlon #teamstoker
I am really enjoying this medieval tale at the mo! I‘m gripped and engrossed! Bring on the time travel.... 🤓
And that‘s one more point for #teamGryffindor!!! I mean, #teamstoker 😆 it‘s been a long night....! #scarathlon
I‘m hoping this book is going to cast its witchy #spell on me tonight. 😉 #chillingphotochallenge #scarathlon #teamstoker
I can't believe I never knew this was five minutes from my work. I feel a few more lunchtime audiowalks coming on. Enjoying some medieval mystery with Karen Maitland.
Very keen on this #TBRsomeday
pickThe atmosphere in this book is pitched just right - I got a real feel for the superstition of that time. I don't know quite who I was rooting for though; they were all quite unpleasant characters (except for the very poor, put upon Gunther and his family). I loved the chapter headings - all little homilies on how to ward off witches, have good luck or inspire love. I might have to see if some of them work!!
My first bookpair for #historymonth is actually a booktrio. Ian Mortimer's book is well a written, witty introduction to late medieval England. If you say medieval England you say The Canterbury Tales. Chaucer actually made me laugh with some of his stories. Others are a bit less entertaining but it's a great read. And Maitland's novel about a witch in fourteenth century England is a great autumn read. Let me know your picks for #historymonth!
