pickI enjoyed it! Although there‘s no telling how accurate Chadwick‘s depiction of Eleanor is here given the lack of info and the fact that this author uses Akashic Records (👀) for her research, but I still enjoyed it. Chadwick has no love for King Louis VII, and I felt for Eleanor throughout her marriage to him, but I‘m really excited to see read about her marriage to King Henry II in the subsequent books. Great story, very much in my wheelhouse.
#currentlyreading Nearly a week into this book, I‘m approaching halfway thru. It‘s dense but really good. I keep stopping to read more about historical names and places. My first time reading about Eleanor of Aquitaine!
My best reading buddy Beau is keeping me warm! 🐾
Random book from our home library:
📖 Eleanor of Aquitaine by Alison Weir
Recent fiction acquisition:
📖 The Serpent's Tale by Ariana Franklin
I don't have words for how much I love this book.
So here's some stats:
82 days to read
758 pages read
I bought the book cause I couldn't read fast enough.
Love this book enough I bought the other two in the trilogy.
I am so glad I started, stuck with, and finished this book!

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.
