My score reeked. Quite a few are on my TBR; I just haven't read them yet. Three faves:
1. THE ONCE AND FUTURE KING: “The fantastic thing about war was that it was fought about nothing--literally nothing.“
2. OUTLANDER (called CROSS STITCH in the UK): “I am your master…and you're mine. Seems I canna possess your soul without losing my own.“
3. THE 39 STEPS: “The men who knew that he knew what he knew had found him.”

ChaoticMissAdventures I am trying to get to once and future king I think this summer, I have had it for years and just have not gotten around to it. 2w

rubyslippersreads One of my favorite books. 2w

DGRachel I didn‘t realize Cross Stitch was Outlander! That brings my dismal total up to 16. 🤪 2w

The Quest for Merlin | Nikolai Tolstoy

Random book from our home library:

📖 The Quest for Merlin by Nikolai Tolstoy

Bookwomble I have this one, too 😊 I read it in the '80s during my peak Arthurian phase, so it's a bit hazy now, but I remember enjoying it. Have you read the tagged? It's Tolstoy's fantasy retelling of the Merlin story based on Welsh traditions, and I really enjoyed this one. It was intended as the first in a trilogy, which was sadly sidelined when he lost a libel suit.

Coming of the King

bibliothecarivs @Bookwomble, I have not read that one. Your description made me think of The Crystal Cave by Mary Stewart, which I did read about 30 years ago for school and enjoyed.

The Story of the Champions of the Round Table | Howard Pyle

Random book from our home library:

📖 The Story of the Champions of the Round Table Written and Illustrated by Howard Pyle

BooksandCoffee4Me I‘ve read many of the Arthur stories, but not Pyle‘s. It looks a bit daunting and yet, strangely compelling at the same time. 😊 1mo

The Fall of Arthur | J.R.R. Tolkien

#fellowshipoftolkien #medievaltolkien

The alliteration and rhythm mimics the sense of urgency; I can feel the galloping and the heartbeat of the moment. I‘m late to the party, but I‘m loving this work.

Daisey I do love the rhythm of this alliterative poetic style! 3mo

The Fall of Arthur | J.R.R. Tolkien

#FelloewshipOfTolkien #MedievalTolkien

Seriously, I'm quite intrigued by this Guenevere.
She seems very different from Tolkien's women, who generally carrie a strong creation energy.
This Guenevere seem to be rather on the other side of the spectrum. She seems to be quite the careless destroyer.

The Fall of Arthur | J.R.R. Tolkien

#FellowdhipOfTolkien

@Daisey and l are planning to start a new #MedievalTolkien read, possibly at the beginning of February.

So, you know, l was an Arthurian legends fan before l became a Tolkien fan. Is this coming full circle? 😆

Pleas join us if you are a Tolkien fan, an Arthurian legends fan, a Medieval history fan... a reader 😁
