Paladin (The Welsh Guard Mysteries Book 3) | Sarah Woodbury

I have finished these three books so far since the beginning of the #awesomeapril #readathon. I‘m so proud of myself. I have thoroughly enjoyed these three audiobooks, and I really like the stained glass style of the three covers. The cover art for this series is absolutely brilliant.

Andrew65 Great, this post is making me want to read these. 👏👏👏 2y

GingerAntics @Andrew65 this series is pretty good. I like her Gareth and Gwen series better, but this one is growing on me. 2y

Andrew65 @GingerAntics Thanks for that information, adding them to my list. 2y

This was even better as an audiobook. I now understand the difference between Rhys and Reese, too, which is important to this entire series.

Crouchback (The Welsh Guard Mysteries Book 1) | Sarah Woodbury

This story read properly by a Welshman is a real treat. I am *so* glad I can listen to this tonight.

GingerAntics @Texreader a WHOLE other ballgame in audiobook. I finally understand (and can clearly hear) the difference between Rhys and Reese. 2y

GingerAntics @Texreader hearing the proper pronunciations of all the Welsh words and names, especially Llewellyn, so I‘m excited to go through the Gareth and Gwen audiobook and learn the proper pronunciation of Llelo. 2y

Texreader Oooh fantastic!! 2y

GingerAntics @Texreader weird moment, but I put a citation for each book in my reading journal (it‘s a thing, I‘m a nerd) and Woodbury‘s books have gotten complicated as of late. (edited) 2y

GingerAntics @Texreader a new publisher popped up so I was looking for location info so I could properly site this audiobook, and I seem to have found the official company listing on a website of corporations. She self publishes, but probably for accounting reasons she and her husband have started a publishing company. I doubt they know how easy it was to find this listing, because the given address for the publishing company is their house. 2y

GingerAntics @Texreader if you Google the address, you can even see the outside of their house, how many bedrooms and bathrooms they have (thanks to Zillow). I was expecting an office building, but it‘s a lovely little white home in Oregon. Whoops. Don‘t Google it. 😂 2y

Texreader 😂 2y

Texreader She‘s an excellent writer to be self-published 2y

GingerAntics @Texreader she really is. Who turned down these stories?! They used to be published by someone else, if I remember correctly. Maybe she felt she had greater freedom by publishing on her own. She would certainly make more money that way. 2y

Branwen This looks and sounds amazing! 2y

GingerAntics @Texreader actually, based on what I just read on her blog, she‘s always been self published. None of the NY publishing houses wanted any of her first books, so she decided “they weren‘t doing [her] any good just sitting on [her] laptop.” 🤷🏼‍♀️ I guess it‘s lucky for us she had that thought. 2y

GingerAntics @Branwen her Gareth and Gwen Medieval Mysteries series has a stronger female lead. That‘s a much longer series already though, so I‘m trying to listen to the three in this series so far before diving into that series. I‘m not very familiar with Welsh, so I‘m really enjoying hearing the proper pronunciations. 2y

Texreader @GingerAntics Good for her! I find self published books tend to be poorly edited with typos. Again extra kudos to her for an excellent product and she deserves the financial reward. When we were first into her books I remember looking at her website. It seems she had a healthy sized audience 2y

GingerAntics @Texreader it certainly seems that way. I was reading a blog post she did about getting published and self publishing, and she said no book should be published before it‘s on like it‘s 9th draft. She said to get professional editing and cover design. She‘s certainly part of a group trying to make a better name for self published work. 2y

GingerAntics @Texreader Rhys sounds more like race and sometimes sounds like trace…. almost a combination of race and trace, oddly. 2y

Whoops! Almost forgot this one last quote! (I promise this is the end of my #Crouchback spam.)
You know a guy is really good when his friends talk about him like this behind his back, and then he goes off and does something like this to boot.
I seriously love Rhys as a human being and as a character.

I like that she point blank says “here‘s the history and here‘s how I messed with it/what I did with it.”

GingerAntics #HistoricalFictionInaccuracySupportGroup @julesG @CoverToCoverGirl @JazzFeathers @Weaponxgirl @RavenLovelyReads @Birdsong28 @KCorter I truly believe this is how it should be done! (edited) 4y

julesG 👍 4y

Texreader That‘s why I love James Rollins. He does the same about the history and science in his books. 4y

julesG Yes, this is definitely how it should be done. A lot of authors do it, but some just fly under their 'artistic licence' flags and don't bother. 4y

GingerAntics @julesG I‘d like to take that flag and burn it to the ephing ground! 4y

GingerAntics @Texreader I haven‘t heard of him. I‘ll have to go look him up. 4y
