This ebook is on sale right now and it‘s a marvelous read. It‘s the best #letterQ book I‘ve read since doing the #LitsyAtoZ challenge. I highly recommend it and I hope to read it again someday. Definitely an action-packed historical thriller.
I‘m going to have to bail on this one. The writing is dry and it reads like a dissertation. Example “At the point when Perceval rides out into the grey and empty dawn from the deserted castle, we are two-fifths of the way through Chrétien‘s work in its unfinished form.” That‘s a sentence chosen at random. ? I wanted to like it, but when reading becomes a chore, I‘m out. Too many good books out there. #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks

pickThere is a lot of history to digest in this book, but it‘s a pick for me. I‘m not sure if it was slow because I had family visiting while reading or if it was the book because you do need to focus so you don‘t miss any of the details. I loved the connection between Alice and Alais. The mystery was good too. I guessed incorrectly who Audric was, but felt more satisfied with who was revealed. I also enjoyed learning about a history I didn‘t know.

pickA sweet fantasy tale about elderly widow Mrs Whitaker, who finds the Holy Grail in a charity shop and brought it home. Next day Galahad came knocking at her door to ask for it, but when Mrs Whitaker refused, Galahad brought her legendary and magical objects in hope to trade for the Holy Grail. Colleen Doran‘s adaptation of this short story from Gaiman‘s Smoke and Mirrors, is really admirable. The artwork is of Medieval looking illustrated ⬇️
Ok, when I saw @jlhammar post the first line of this, I knew I had to get it even though I‘m not a graphic novel reader. My maiden name is Whitaker. My oldest son is named Whitaker. My mother is, of course, Mrs. Whitaker and a close, lifelong friend‘s kids have always called me Mrs. Whitaker too because she always refers to me by my maiden name.
pickBeautiful pictures and a funny story. I love this graphic novel.
