📖 Life in the Castle in Medieval England by John Burke

I am osolating between so-so and a light pick. This was a struggle for me. It took me almost 2 months to read. But I can see why people are charmed by it. It feels like another book that I should have read in my late teens early 20s to get the full pleasure and nostalgia for. But in my mid-40s it just feels a bit too forced, I didn't like Cassandra and the only person I really cared for was Stephen. Poor Stephen.

📖 Warwick Castle [souvenir guide - not in Litsy]

I have lots of souvenir guides to places in the UK that I've never visited. I believe I even have two different editions of this one. Have I mentioned that I'm an Anglophile bibliophile?

This book was delightful! Oh to be young and silly again and have your whole life ahead of you! And who doesn‘t want to live in a castle with an eccentric family surrounded by nature?!?!?!? I found a lot of this book to be amusing but especially the shenanigans on the train! Hilarious! 💙💙💙💙💙

#BookReport

Only 2 finished last week. I read the tagged book after seeing it recommended on a Parnassus Books video. It sounds like it is a much loved coming of age story. I did enjoy it but didn‘t love it.

I also enjoyed the Pride & Prejudice continuation by McLeod.

I‘m trying to keep my recent reads firmly planted in the Middle Ages.

📖 Allen Brown's English Castles by R. Allen Brown

#MondayMood

Another Monday wondering what 💩 will hit the fan this week. I‘m going to read the tagged book for the first time. I think it will be a nice escape.

Really enjoying this series. The first book was really good and this one was also. Looking forward to book three and hoping the series lasts because I‘m already attached.
