Solomon's Crown: A Novel | Natasha Siegel

Panpan

Philip of France & Richard the Lionheart discover a mutual spark of attraction @ the same time Phillip is establishing his reign & Richard is dealing w/ a controlling father & an imprisoned mother.

Interesting characters & good scene setting, but 2 problems for me. I wasn‘t invested in the romance, & I‘m not usually into books that reimagine established historical figures so much. W/ a different background, I would have liked it better.🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑

Fear: A Novel of World War I | Gabriel Chevallier
post image

"The horror of war resides in this gnawing anxiety. It resides in the continuation, the incessant repetition of danger. War is permanent threat. 'We know not the place or the hour.' But we know the place exists and the hour will come. It is insane to hope that we will always escape."

GatheringBooks Oh wow! This is a fantastic collage. I plan on doing a half year post of all #ReadTheWorld2025 posts on GatheringBooks and this just might be central to that post - it‘s amazing! Which one is the book from Iraq? Is it Fundamentally, because I already have that one. 4d

While everyone is posting their May tbr, I‘m still posting books read in January 😳🙄🤷🏽‍♀️☺️
January 2025 Book #8

I enjoyed this book inspired in real facts and real people. It motivated me to read about what happened in that period of time before WWII and about these characters. I couldn‘t put it down because I like novels inspired in this period of time. 3.8/4 ⭐️

Gissy #SundayBuddyRead @TheBookHippie that‘s why I like to participate in these buddy reads or Readathons because they give an opportunity to read books that maybe I would not read on a regular basis due to lack of time but it takes me time to finish them

The Modern Fairies | Clare Pollard
Pickpick

Sparkling, darkly elegant, and deliberately crude. A fictionalised account of the courtly intrigue and censorship under Louis XIV when French folktales were given the name "fairytales" and standardised in the female-dominated literary salons. Some wild historical info, and a lot of dark tales and fates.

LeeRHarry Looking forward to picking this one up. 1w
Leniverse @LeeRHarry It's nice and short, which fits with the fairytale theme. 1w
JamieArc I‘ve had this on my shelf for a while and haven‘t really seen anyone talk about it. Good to see the review! 1w

The Book of Lost Names | Kristin Harmel

The Book of Lost Names is a beautifully written tribute to quiet heroism. It is a story about the courage to defy, the strength to remember, and the quiet rebellion of a woman with a pen. Eva found a way to remember as well as save displaced children
