May I Bring a Friend? | Beatrice Schenk de Regniers

“'No, no! My friends want you, instead. To come and visit them.' I said.“ This is a fun part of the book to stop and ask students what they think may come next. Throughout the story the character has brought animals to the King and Queen's castle so it will be interesting to hear what the students think will come next.

The colors and images in this book are very detailed and help tell the story that is left out of the writing.

Boudica: Warrior Woman of Roman Britain | Caitlin C. Gillespie

pick

Soft pick. I chose this particular book because I wanted to hear Boudica's story from the mouth of a woman who could be critical of sexist sources who used Boudica's story to further their own agendas. In a way, she reveals those agendas and some of their biases. But, for the most part, she simply retells their stories without too much criticism (where it was due). 1/3

bookwyrm7 Perhaps, used to write as a scholar, she hides her own voice, simply wishing to present what is already out there without further critical analysis. Perhaps, it was my own hopes that led to my disappointment. But I still find she missed a few chances to really shine. 2/3 8mo

bookwyrm7 There was a lot of repetition of ideas already mentioned but without exploring these in more detail, for example. She doesn't do a lot more than to point out the obvious a lot of the time.
Still, the book itself is a great way of telling what little there is about Boudica's story. A lot of research seems to have gone into it and I'm glad I read it. I'd definitely recommend it! 3/3 8mo

Murder Most Royal: A Novel | Sj Bennett

pick

I‘m really enjoying this series - Rozie is great and there‘s something delightful about the Queen solving mysteries. Bennett rounds out her cast of characters nicely, this time with a couple of quirky aristocrats and villagers, and constructs a fun little romp of a mystery.
