Morgan Is My Name | 
pickAbsolutely loved this book!!! So difficult to put down. Easily my favorite read of the year so far. The origin story of Morgan LeFay, infamous Arthurian sorceress. I look forward to continuing this series. Read for #literarycrew
The weather was glorious today! I took advantage of it by having lunch al fresco while listening to my current read. I hope everyone had a beautiful Monday!

#LiteraryCrew : I am so sorry I fizzled on my hostess duties this month! My priories were caring for Zeke, so lots of things fell through the cracks.
That being said, I have 6 discussion questions posted as spoilers; they can be found on my feed, the book‘s feed, or by searching the group‘s hashtag. I did not get to read this one, but the reviews I read make this sound amazing! Hope you enjoyed!

This ties into an earlier question regarding the pace of the story and the planned trilogy. Do you plan to continue with the trilogy? Book Two, Le Fay, was recently published. #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead
5. One reviewer mentioned the vividness of the landscape and that the strong sense of place and setting could almost be considered a character in the novel. Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not? #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead
4. Think about the other characters in the novel. One reviewer felt that the female characters all showed strength and growth in the novel. What are your thoughts? Any standout characters to you beyond Morgan? #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead
3. Keetch has stated that she set out to retell Morgan's story, but in fact Morgan had so much to say that Keetch realized she needed to expand Morgan's story into three books. One could consider this to be the “origin story“ of Morgan, as she is young and starting out in the world of magic.
Think of the story progression in this novel. Do you agree or disagree with Keetch's assessment? Is this a multiple book story? #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead
2. Thinking about the Arthurian legend, and Morgan's portrayal throughout as the villain, this novel (and trilogy) aims to tell Morgan's side of the story, or her story through her eyes. In some reviews, reviewers felt this humanizes Morgan, or at least adds layers to the “villain“ persona of Morgan. Do you agree? Why or why not? #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead
1. This first in a planned trilogy is a feminist take on the legendary Morgan le Fay. How familiar were you with her legend before reading this book? Link in comments to some basic info on Morgan. #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead

pickLoved 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
pickSorceress. Witch. Villain. You think you know the story of Morgan le Fay, enemy of Arthur, High King of Britain. You‘d be wrong.
I adored this! Morgan is such an amazing character, & I loved reading about her drive and her passions. The relationships she built with the people around her were complex & fascinating! I was expecting more time spent with Arthur, but this is more of a prequel. So I really hope there‘ll be a sequel someday! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
pickWell, I just loved this. Every single bit. I was obsessed with Arthur and co as a teenager and always had a begrudging respect for Morgan.
Morgan is now given a feminist retelling and it‘s a trilogy, can‘t wait for the next one.
Narrated by the excellent Vanessa Kirby this is a fantastic listen 🎧 photos don‘t seem to be downloading again on this app ! 🙈
pickA feminist retelling of the Arthurian legend. Manipulated by the corrupt King Uter and having her kingdom taken away from her, Lady Morgan defies the patriarchy and learns magicks and political agendas in order to navigate through the land. In addition, she reveals her personal relationships with all the major players from Arthur to Merlin and chooses her own path into the mythos. For fans of Madeline Miller and Marion Zimmer Bradley.
pickI throughly enjoyed this book. I clicked play without knowing anything about it and I was sucked right in. I didn‘t put it down.

pickLoved this feminist retelling of Morgan Le Fay which follows her from her early years to becoming a wife. Morgan is a strong independent woman who takes no crap from anyone which of course gets her in trouble
The story drew me in from the start, the writing is beautiful and the author really brings the characters to life
