#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!

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 👇
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.

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.
