pickA history of the Capetians from Hugh through to Charles IV (before it passed to the Valois) focussing on each of the kings. I was familiar with some of them before (like Philip Augustus and Philip IV (the fair) but this helped to put them in sequence in a very readable way.

I'm about 75% done with my #BookSpin but it's not a good curl up on the coach story for Friday night reading. So I figured I'd start November's #DoubleSpin
pickI‘ve always been a medieval nerd, so I enjoyed this memoir. The author decides to take a pilgrimage on foot to Canterbury, just like the peasants of older days did. Filled with history, this is an educational memoir with healthy dollops of Chaucer thrown in. Folks who enjoy Renn fairs will enjoy this book.
