This is my (current) list for my King Arthur Reading Challenge for 2019. I'm just checking with all of you beautiful littens to make sure I haven't forgotten anything worth reading. Any and all suggestions welcome.

GingerAntics @jenniferw88 thanks for those suggestions. I've added the entire series of both to my list. I'm thinking this is beginning to look like more of a multi-year challenge. Definitely worth it, though. I also noticed that I had somehow forgottenThe Once and Future King 5y
The Once and Future Kingzsuzsanna_reads My favourite Gawain is:Sir Gawain and the Green Knight: A New Verse Translation 5y
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight: A New Verse Translationzsuzsanna_reads By the way, I lived Malory's Mort d'Arthur. It was really worth persevering with the language. 5y
Lcsmcat Have you read the Mary Stewart series that begins with ?The Crystal Cave: Book One of the Arthurian Saga 5y
The Crystal Cave: Book One of the Arthurian SagaGingerAntics @zsuzsanna_reads I'm always looking for translation suggestions as well. Everyone seems to have one. I even found one by John Steinbeck. I've actually read something that said the language is what makes Mort d'Arthur is the hardest to read. 5y
zsuzsanna_reads @ginger_antics the language is hard, but I found it very rewarding. 5y
GingerAntics @Lcsmcat I haven't read much from the legends at all. I'm definitely adding this series to the list. It looks really interesting. This is definitely going to be a multi year challenge now. lol 5y
GingerAntics @jenniferw88 @zsuzsanna_reads @Lcsmcat okay now this may sound like a really stupid question, but is there an app that will let me make different reading lists and keep track of which ones I've read and which ones still need to be read? My collections in apple books kind of do that, but if there is a more streamlined way to do that, it would be awesome. 5y
jenniferw88 @GingerAntics Goodreads? You could create a tag for 'king arthur' books (this will put them all in one place) and then have them as read, currently reading or want to read. Just an idea! 5y
GingerAntics @jenniferw88 I've never really used goodreads. Apparently I have an account because I have an Amazon account and I had a kindle a few years back. 🤷🏼♀️ I'll look at that. 5y
jenniferw88 @GingerAntics here's an example: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/3226573-jenny?shelf=arthurian-mythology 5y
Lcsmcat @GingerAntics Goodreads would work. Or, if you catalog your books you could tag them “King Arthur.” I use Libib to keep track of what I own and it lets you categorize, but I imagine they all do. 5y
Bookwomble You can use Library Thing to make lists, using tags and/or the Lists function. Goodreads, too. Regarding other books, you might add the one I've tagged 😊The High History of the Holy Graal 5y
The High History of the Holy GraalGingerAntics @Bookwomble I'm going to have to check out library thing. I know they bought litsy, but I don't know much else about them. Definitely added that book. It looks really interesting. 5y
Bookwomble @GingerAntics Library Thing is a proper book cataloguing site. Goodreads is ok, but data on your books can be changed by anyone, which is really annoying. The two sites are only superficially similar: pros and cons for both. 5y
GingerAntics @Bookwomble the thing that has kept me off goodreads is that it's owned by Amazon and amazon has just taken over too many things these days. I don't use kindle as often anymore because of the horror stories of people losing their entire Kindle library over something totally innocent or a mistake on amazon's end (that they can't undo). 5y
Bookwomble @GingerAntics I was on Goodreads before the Amazon buyout, boycotted it for a year and moved to LT, a which is where I now keep my catalogue, I've gone back to GR for the interactions, mainly. 5y
