#WeekendForecast and #BookReport
Technically, I finished a book last Sunday but included that book in the previous wrap up.
I have been reading on my chunky book-about 20-25 pages a day at lunch (about 35-40 minutes). I have hit the limit of renewals at the library and may have to purchase this one cause I do want to keep at it.
Tomorrow, I am going to sit with my coffee and read a few kids books. It's imperative I switch things up, bookwise.
I'm in medieval England and Normandy this week (and next week and probably the week after 😭). I am enjoying this but, man, this is taking me a while to read!

I am really enjoying this book even though I am reading it so slowly.
Mini readathon this weekend to conquer some of the books that have come in and I can't renew!

Forgot to post yesterday! For some reason can't concentrate on the Penman novel so it's off to the west.
Really enjoyed the Le Guin book and looking forward to the hygge book next weekend.

Started this chunkster last night... Okay, read 6 pages our of 759 pages. I think I'm going to enjoy this one!
pickI had to finish reading Wolf Hall before I started this one, so I wouldn‘t get my Henries mixed up 😆
I didn‘t know much about Eleanor of Aquitaine going into this, but now I realize why E.L. Konigsburg found her so fascinating. Headstrong, determined, wife to two major figures of her time, mother of Richard the Lionheart and the infamous King John—and with a finger in a LOT of different political pies! The narrative frame here felt a bit odd:⤵️
pickThis has taken me three weeks - it felt like a real chunkster and at times a real slog. As ever with Penman the research is fabulous and the characters including the often forgotten women jumping the page, alive and vibrant. This is the 4th in her quintet about Henry, Elinor and their children and most is based around Richard‘s crusade and it is a little too battley for me! Did enjoy my last chapters and cocktail though
🪺 Elizabeth Chadwick. Lisa Gardner. Tess Gerritson. Sandra Dallas. Robert Galbraith. Sarah J Maas.
🪺 🪺 I can't pick just one lol, A Summer Queen by EC, for one.

pickOverall, it's a good read, though there's no strong plot. You follow Marie as she morphs from unwanted orphan to powerful abbess. I wish we had more of her life as a crusader.
