Description of Bergen, Norway c. 1200. Can confirm that 800 years later, this part is still the same 😂

pick"... the personal, intimate parts of people's lives matter every bit as much as the famous, dramatic, narrative defining ones."
Another wonderful selection from the #wpnf25 long list. An interesting, engaging history of the Viking Age told through everyday objects and everyday people. Barraclough's narration is excellent, I highly recommend the audio!
Well, that‘s a thought experiment.

pickGood. Story about two people trying to get a job writing an old socialite's biography. The old socialite gives me Evelyn Hugo vibes which I enjoyed. I enjoyed this book incredibly but it felt like I was taken out of the story when you were being told the socialite's story which jarred a little bit for me. Thank you #PenquinRandomHouse for the free copy via #Netgalley.

pickFascinating book, filled with details you didn't know you needed about "ordinary" Viking life.
Got to watch those guys who bath once a week...
One is the Gosforth Cross from Cumbria, carved in the first half of the tenth century, towering 4.4 metres high in the churchyard of St Mary's... [it] also has carved stories that we might remember from Norse mythology, including Loki bound and tortured with snake poison for his crimes, and a figure with its foot in the mouth of a monstrous fanged beast, perhaps Odin fighting the wolf Fenrir at Ragnarok.
