The Serpent Queen series. Minnie Driver played Elizabeth 1. She did an excellent job. She was the best character.

#WhereAreYouMonday
This Monday finds me in 16th century Istanbul among the scribes, miniaturists, gilders, and other artists of the empire who have been commissioned to create book which will also be a work of art for the sultan. Only 50 pages in, but definitely getting The Name of the Rose vibes.
My plans for hygge hour tonight: cuddle with Em & Poe on the couch,read the tagged book,munch on ginger cookies, drink tea. So relaxing.
Saturday morning coffee and a book. Just starting chapter 3 & I am already hooked!
...elsewhere men talk of public good, but look after their private good...in Utopia, where all possessions are in common, everyone is certain that, provided that care is taken to keep the public barns full, everyone will have whatever he wants for his private use. For there is no unfair distribution of property, there are no paupers or beggars there, and though no one has anything, yet all are rich.
pickA important work, from 1516 no less. Not to be tasted, but "chewed and digested" as Bacon would say. The author not only wishes us to compare actual societies against an ideal one, but if a more "communal" could even come to exist from purposeful human agency. In this American election year, it's all the more important to ask what kind of society we want & why. Not an easy read. But like most difficult tasks, it pays dividends. Recommended.
