Book 4 in the series and definitely better than book three. The characters were much better in this one and I felt the plot and development improved over the previous book. Not my favorite of the series but close. 3.5ish ⭐️

The Lost King: The Search for Richard III | Michael Jones, Philippa Langley
post image
Pickpick

King Richard III was killed on 22 August 1485 at Bosworth Field, the last English king to die in battle. His remains were thought lost after the Reformation & closing down of Greyfriars Priory. His reputation has been maligned through the centuries starting with those in the Tudor era who had a lot to gain from muddying the waters. (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf This book is about the archaeological search for King Richard III's body in 2012 & the dawning of a new chapter looking into what kind of King he had been.

This was an interesting & informative read & I especially enjoyed the chapters about Richard's life in the 15th century. Some reviewers have said that the main author is too biased about Richard & that is true to an extent, but there are some good points argued to counter the caricature of the
4h
OutsmartYourShelf man which has been handed down through history from Shakespeare & others.

We should view Richard as a man of his time - a time when kingships were won & lost in battle, when supporters changed side at the drop of a hat, & rebellions were frequent hazards. For my part, I believe that Richard was human like the rest of us. He had his good points & his bad, & that he probably did order the execution of the two young princes following a plot to

OutsmartYourShelf liberate them from the tower.

His reign would never be secure whilst ever there was a focal point for rebellion, Henry Tudor found this out. Does that make Richard any worse than Henry VII who executed the young Edward, Earl of Warwick after imprisoning him in the tower for years? Or Henry VIII under whose reign Henry Pole disappeared into the tower aged 14 & was never seen again?

OutsmartYourShelf This book definitely helps to see the man & not the mythic monster. 3.5🌟

Dead of Winter | Rebecca Zanetti

One of my #readyourkindle picks for May was a Libby book.

I was interested in this as I really enjoy the author. My library system picked up the eBook and not the paperback. So, off to Libby to read the first in a series!

I enjoyed this-definitely reminded me of her Laurel Snow series.

It was a great book to read if you enjoy romantic suspense or just need some popcorn thriller/romance.

I‘m reading this from my April #ReadYourKindle challenge.

It‘s a shorter story, but still sweet and well developed. A sea pirate is trying to retire on land. While she a Scottish lass is trying to do her duty by her family all the while wanting so much more from life.

This dragged on for me. Too much talk: blah blah blah from Lord Peter Wimsey. Harriet Vane, the voice of reason, sighted a dead body by the shore when she was picnicking. The plot that unfolds due to their investigation, although convoluted, did reach a resolution in the end. #readyourkindle

willaful I remember finding this one pretty dull. Gaudy Night is wonderful! 6d

I had a pretty crappy reading month in April, so the two on the left are leftovers from then. Here's hoping May is better!

It may be slightly ambitious (especially with how crazy things will get with the school year winding down) but I know a few of these should be quick reads so here's hoping 🤞
