pickBook #2
My Rating: 4.5/5
The extent of my knowledge about Chaucer lies mostly in his depiction in A Knight's Tale, but that didn't stop me from reading this story from the POV of his famous "Wife of Bath". This story was surprising in its development of the wife's character from young child bride, to strong, feminist woman, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Definitely worth reading.
pickOk, I had to find out what happened and finished early. #camplitsy2023 @squirrelbrain @Megabooks @BarbaraBB

pickBook #2 in the series. Another fascinating book in the series. Lady Trent again gets herself into some unusual circumstances. Mr. Wilkers joins the expedition along with Lord Hilford‘s granddaughter, Natalie. This time to the heat of the tropics. If you enjoyed book 1, then you‘ll like this one too.

Ancillary Sword - Ann Leckie
Series: Imperial Radsch #2
400 pages
Strong second book of the series. Easier to follow than book 1. Complex, intriguing, and surprising.
#WondrousWednesday posted on Thursday because I was at book club last night.
1. Probably something by one of the Greeks, Oedipus Rex or Antigone.
2. I do not generally read series because it feels like too much of a time commitment. That said, I read and loved the Chaos Walking trilogy by Patrick Ness.
3. See #2.

pickOne of my checklist items on my reading for 2023 is to read a series recommended by a friend. I don't generally do well with series. There's too many stories that I want to ingest for me to spend so much time on one. But I'm really glad I started this one. Book 1/3 of this series down, 2 to go and im already on the edge of my seat for #2! Then I can watch the show!!
Also Jennifer Ikeda does a phenomenal job reading this tale ❤️ 👏
I mean, was it even a competition?! Best book I read in May!

1. I‘ve been so busy that I honestly didn‘t realize it was going to be a holiday weekend! So no plans, but I might have to do something about that 🧐
2. Based on the stories I‘ve read about wishes, they seem like tricky things, so I might just wish for the genie‘s freedom & go back to reading. 😉😁

1. Memorial Day parade Saturday and cookout with friends one of the other days.
2. If fiction has taught me anything it's that grandiose wishes always come with curses, so - like Homer Simpson - I would probably stick to modest requests, like a really good turkey sandwich.
