#BookedInTime peeps!
What are you reading/recommending for April?

I have done some googling and am not finding anything that is sparking an interest. I thought there would be more out there surrounding this time period!

@Cuilin

Suet624 I didn‘t know about the Chadwick book. Gotta check it out! 10h

@Cuilin #bookedintime

I did it! This was a chunkster. Physical and audio helped me get through it. There are so many characters! It spans from 430 AD to 1500ish. I thought it gave a good look at pre Christian Ireland and the move towards Christianity, from tribal life and politics to the Crown. He did an excellent job keeping the characters individualized and I didn't have any trouble following along. I loved how women were represented 👇

ChaoticMissAdventures Throughout. They were strong, capable, and smart. There are a few scenes where the women really showed up that will stick with me for awhile (flashing a monk who decided to join the monastery instead of marrying you? Good for you Kayla!). I probably will not read the 2nd one but this was very good. I also liked how religion was spoken of. My only negative is I didn't always get as much of/closure on some characters as I would have liked. 6d
Cuilin Congratulations 🎉🫶🇮🇪☘️seriously impressed. (edited) 6d
Ruthiella Well done! 👏👏👏 6d
marleed I read this last March - I was so proud of myself for finally getting to it - and then I really liked it! 5d
ChaoticMissAdventures @marleed I was surprised how much I liked it! And it was really not difficult to read, even with the intimidating size. 5d

Cuilin I just looked these up. There are 34 in the series. Wow! Do you plan to read all of them? Do you like them? 7d
rwmg @Cuilin Eventually. Although I'm something of a series junkie I can't read too many from one series at once because they tend to blur together and I find I have nothing to say when reviewing. 7d

Fidelma is called back from Spain to help Eadulf, accused of raping and murdering a young novice.

Although I was reading it out of order due to the previous novel's cliffhanger, it was a while before I really got into this book but once I did I found the mystery intriguing and the events exciting. BUT HOW ARE TWO 7TH CENTURY CHARACTERS ABLE TO QUOTE PETRARCH BY NAME? That totally threw me out of the story and was very disappointing and thus So-So

#weeklyforecast I have the tagged on audio for #BookedInTime made a huge dent in it yesterday while doing chores around the house, and am really enjoying it. Once I finish it I have A Day In The Life of Abed Salama.
Picking away at the Women's Prize, started The Maiden and so far I am liking it more than I thought I would.

monalyisha I like your decor! Great curtains & chair (& cat 😸). 1w

ChaoticMissAdventures @monalyisha @brittanyreads thank you!! I love these curtains, they were my big splurge from Anthropology when I bought the house. I need color to get me through the long Oregon grey days. 1w

A mammoth analysis of the Russian revolution that is well worth a read. Figes broaches the historical figures with a compassionate but critical eye, scrutinising key events that led to the overthrown Romanovs, revolution, and catastrophic change for so many. The repercussions of which are still felt a century later. It is endlessly fascinating.

Cuilin Sounds interesting 2w
AllDebooks @Cuilin oops, I forgot to tag you and @Dabbe for #Bookedintime 2w
