Still only reading a few chapters a day of The Postcard so am not sure how I will do. The tagged book is short, The Batter of Life and Death is the 2nd in a series I‘ve been meaning to go back to, What the Dead Leave Behind is the beginning of a great sounding series and Marion Lane is a holdover from last month.
Hoping my reading mojo comes back soon.

#tlt #threelistthursday Thanks @dabbe for the tag!
1) Tagged (my favorite book): Saxon bastard Walter of Gurney trekking to the farthest reaches of the earth during the dark Middle Ages: Cathay (China)
2) Bilbo in The Hobbit
3) and from this month‘s reads, British women Helen and Gwyneira traveling to New Zealand to meet their unknown husbands in the 1800s In the Land of the Long White Cloud
This was fun! Tagging everyone!
pickSo first up this has been on my kindle for eons and I don‘t know why I ever bought it. Secondly I had hoped it would be my Jan #bookedintime but it‘s 200 years too late and thirdly it‘s one of the most grown up children‘s books I have ever read!! With all that out of the way I absolutely loved this story about a young girl with no family and limited prospects who as second chamber maid joins her widowed lady on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem ⬇️
There were no 5 🌟 picks for July, but Dan Jones's history of The Order of The Knights Templars was the most interesting read of the month.

I found this historical fiction of Llewelyn of Wales at the bargain bookstore for $4. What really caught my eye is how worn and well-read it was compared to the books next to it.
Happy #Roll100 day!
2 great choices this coming month...I did DNF “Search for Significance“ back in July.
I am excited about the other two choices-one British politics and one American politics.
“The Nine“ is 16 years old so some of the information has changed.
Not sure which one I'll choose to read at this point!

bailedI had to give this up, so many pages of names, names and more names of possible ancestors. I completely lost interest.
pickThis is a medieval time travel series that actually starts with Daughter of Time. It imagines a Wales if Llywelyn ap Gruffydd was not murdered on December 11 1282. I think Woodbury does a good job of describing time and place and I love reading about this time period. More palette cleanser than deep read for me. 3.5 🌟
