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. 4w

rubyslippersreads One of my favorite books. 4w

DGRachel I didn‘t realize Cross Stitch was Outlander! That brings my dismal total up to 16. 🤪 4w

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

This is my favorite line so far in this section, “The Evolution of the Poem.” Even after works were published, they weren‘t always safe from further revisions by Tolkien.

“As a rule, indeed, no manuscript of my father‘s could be regarded as ‘final‘ until it had safely left his hands.”

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

#FellowshipOfTolkien #MedievalTolkien

Only read two cantos last week. I admit I'm struggling with the poetic form, but I'm also enjoying the story.

And I'll admit I'm quite eager to read the essays, because l did hear strong echoes from Middle-earth 😂
I mean, come me on! Guinevere fleeing in the forest like that!

Repost for @Daisey

Tolkien readers, I‘m waiting on my copy to arrive in order to plan a timeline, but our next read will be The Fall of Arthur. @JazzFeathers and I hope to start at the beginning of February, but we can push it back if needed for interested readers to find copies.
