REBOOT! Based on the fact that we're all a bit behind and because of the holidays, I moved everything back a month. Above is the revised schedule.

Next discussion date will be for the 1st half of REVELATION, chapters 1-24, on 1/31/25. Hopefully, that gives us all a little more breathing room.

Librarybelle I‘m still behind! 3d

jenniferw88 Haven't even started...! 3d

Deblovestoread I haven't started either. Will try to catch up 3d

dabbe @Librarybelle @jenniferw88 @Mollyanna @Devlovestoread ... do we want to postpone until next month due to the holidays? I can easily rearrange the time table. 🤩 3d

Librarybelle Personally, that works well for me. I‘m still reading Dark Fire (not the book‘s fault, just I‘m that behind on various reading obligations), but I am happy to go along with the rest of the group‘s decision. 3d

Mollyanna I‘d be good with postponing. 3d

lil1inblue I'm catching up this weekend! I got caught up in my holiday reads. 😉 It's going quickly, though, so I think I'll make it. But if we need to postpone discussion, I'm good with it. 🥰 2d

So far, I am intrigued and can't wait for the discussion at the end of this month. @dabbe @Andrew65 @TheSpineView @BookmarkTavern @Bookwormjillk @DieAReader @StayCurious

Thoughts, Shardlakians?

LiseWorks I would have done the same thing. This protects himself and everyone around him. This tudor world is crazy enough without him rocking the boat. 1mo

OutsmartYourShelf I think it's easy for us to say it wasn't ethical, but in those times men & women paid with their lives (after facing torture) for their decisions, sometimes at the mere whim of a monarch. Shardlake has seen a conspiracy bring down Anne Boleyn because Henry was tired of her, & then his benefactor Cromwell when he fell out of favour. Can we blame him for protecting himself? 1mo

dabbe @Liseworks @OutsmartYourShelf Agree 💯. I'm concurrently reading the canon of Sherlock Holmes, and there are many times where Holmes either A. lets the bad guy go free for ethical reasons or B. does not for the same reasons. Shardlake's situation is even more dire than late 1800s England, so he destroys the papers, allowing Henry to remain king. Even though Henry's a tyrant, better the one you know than the one you don't I guess. 1mo

lil1inblue Given all Shardlake went through up to that point, his choices make so much sense. I think facing torture really impacted him. He was done with the intrigue of the court. Releasing those papers would only have created chaos, and there was no guarantee how things would unfold, or how it would put him in danger. 1mo

dabbe @lil1inblue I agree. Re: King Henry, better the devil you know than the devil you don't. England was in such a precarious position in Europe at that time, too. Shardlake impresses me more and more with his willingness to do the right thing for the good of all--even if it's a personal sacrifice. 1mo

kwmg40 Shardlake does seem to be able to look at the bigger picture. At the end, he just seemed to want peace in his life. 1mo

AnneCecilie I guess I can understand the wish to protect yourself. 1mo

Cheryl_Russell_BookNotes Nothing good can come of those papers going public. The only sure thing is a blood bath, which really won‘t be over legitimate blood lines, but of Catholic vs Protestants. Shardlake knows what he‘s done will haunt him. He had to choose between two evils, so he chose the one that kept the (precarious) peace. He has no guarantee what he‘s done won‘t be discovered in the future, so that threat will always haunt him. 1mo

dabbe @Cheryl_Russell_BookNotes Excellent observations. 1mo

Deblovestoread His self preservation is strong! And releasing those papers would have created chaos and likely ended in his death….Henry wouldn‘t have allowed him to live. 1mo
