I finished this 1125 page bind-up of all three novels. What a journey! This is the life of a medieval Norwegian woman - from her happy childhood, to her tumultuous courtship and marriage, to her years of motherhood and wifedom, to finally retreat to a nunnery and her death. Undset makes the characters, time and place come alive and feel relevant to the modern reader.

#FridayHappyReadingHour

I‘ve closed the laptop and poured myself an icy virgin G&T 🧊. It‘s HOT 🥵 today.

Then I‘m bound and determined to finish the tagged book on my kindle for #KLBR #DoorstopKristen and Flashman today so I can start fresh for the weekend. 🤞

A Memory Called Empire | Arkady Martine

#weekendreads

Really loving the tagged book which is one of my #Roll100 picks for July.

Getting back on track with #DoorstopKristen

The third title is a #BlameitonLitsy spontaneous read.

ChaoticMissAdventures I really loved Empire too! It felt really layered and fresh. 2mo

Ruthiella @ChaoticMissAdventures It‘s giving me Ann Leckie Imperial Radch vibes, a trilogy I loved . 2mo

Lesliereadsalot Ooh…a Hugo Award winner! I loved Imperial Radch, will have to read this one, 2mo

Ruthiella @Lesliereadsalot It has a similar complexity in its depiction of culture and diplomacy. Which would be too slow for some readers, but I enjoy it. 2mo

Centique Oh im so glad you‘re enjoying it! Yes reminded me of Ann Leckie too 😍 1mo

Ruthiella @Centique I really like being immersed in a complex SciFi world like this. 😊 1mo

The Country of the Pointed Firs and Other Stories | Sarah Orne Jewett

#weekendreads

I have a lot going on this weekend, but I hope to at least have enough time to finish the #ohcanada pick and #EBBR and #NancyDrewBR . Those are quick ones.

I‘m reading the Sarah Orne Jewett b/c of the podcast “One Bright Book” and it takes time to digest.

The bottom two are also slower for me #hashtagbrigade and #DoorstopKristen #KLBR .

#whereareyoumonday

I am going to be in medieval Norway for the next couple months for #KLBR #DoorstopKristen. Enjoying it a lot, though I know it‘s also at times going to make me sad.
