It just turn 8 PM in Phoenix, AZ Temps are still above 100º, but the sun is down. Sitting on the couch, ready to catch up with the #ShardlakeBR. Kate almost made it to the couch. She's already hygge-in'.

Have a lovely Sunday, everybody, and kick butt this week! 🩵💙🩵

@julieclair 😘

The #ShardlakeBR is beginning our LAST book in the series. I can't believe it! We'll be on the merry ol' island of England surrounded by water on all sides! It looks like a lot of time will be spent in the Northfolk area, bordering the North Sea on the east. The North Sea reminds me of Wart (King Arthur) learning to fly as a goose (thanks to Merlyn's magic) over the North Sea with Lyo-Lyok. Love that book! 🌊

julieclair Enjoy! 1w

#ShardlakeBR @dabbe

Excellent discussion yesterday, Shardlakians! We now approach the last book in the series: TOMBLAND. And it is a major chunkster: 86 chapters and close to 900 pages! That's why we'll read it in three parts; then, the length will be pretty close to what we've been doing all along. Happy reading!

Lamentation | C.J. Sansom

#ShardlakeBR

Thoughts, Shardlakians?

Karisimo Isabel getting so far with her accusations seemed like a bit of a stretch but it did serve to illustrate the fear of the times. 2w

lil1inblue I think it shows how the confusion and intrigue at court permeated all of society. Similar to how so many people in the US are just tense and edgy right now. 2w

dabbe @Karisimo Her kicking the poor dog and killing it ENRAGED me. 🤬 2w

dabbe @Karisimo @lil1inblue The inheritance dispute mirrors the era‘s greed and familial betrayal, echoing the political backstabbing at court. It also underscores Shardlake‘s role as a resolver of conflicts in a morally ambiguous world. We need a Shardlake in our world right now. 2w

AnneCecilie I think they showed a lot of the themes in the book, and are probably some of the fictional figures I‘ll remember the most. Disagreements between siblings, especially when it comes to inheritance, as all to familiar. I can‘t believe she kicked that dog to death 2w

LiseWorks Their story was entertaining. Why they hated each other was something I wanted to know. And the real reason shocked me. 2w

Deblovestoread The sibling story was an interesting side story with a shocking ending. Isabel was horrible and I wanted to see her hang because of the dog. 2w

dabbe @AnneCecilie IKR? I'm still not over it! 🤬 2w

dabbe @LiseWorks I did, too! It was a major reason I kept turning those pages! 2w

dabbe @Deblovestoread Amen! 🎯🩵🎯 2w

Bookish_Thoughts I like their story. Their secret destroyed both of them. 2w

dabbe @AmyG I thought I had tagged you, but when I opened my computer, it was still sitting there as “unsent!“ 🤦🏼‍♀️ You gave this to me, and I'm already intrigued. Anyone who's named “Mix“ instantly gets my attention. I'll keep ya posted! 😍 1mo

TheAromaofBooks I saw a post today that pointed out that as of June 2025 we are now closer to 2050 than 2000 and I CANNOT DEAL WITH IT 😂 1mo

I started reading this back in September with my fellow Shardlakians and I just finished it today! Needless to say, I‘m woefully behind in the series but I‘m continuing on and hope to catch up eventually. 😅 This was a reread for me (I last read it in 2011) and it did not disappoint. Part history, part mystery, part fiction and completely entertaining! A great story told by a master storyteller. 4/5⭐️
