This Viking ruled world continues to feel more English than Nordic or Scottish?? Perhaps this rule comes from the Normans?? I'm enjoying this nonetheless 🐉📚💝. On Page 81

When I'm freaking out about reality, and my current read takes me to the one magical place that always feels safe and cozy...a bookstore 📚💝.
My previous book review was long because I didn't keep up with my posts as I read...I will try to do better.
Not thrilled about the threat to Kasaqua's life if Anequs fails.
I expected a world ruled by Vikings to be a little different...
Loving the steampunk vibes!

What a fantastic evening! My family went to hear Ron Chernow being interviewed about the writing of his biography of Mark Twain at the Mark Twain House in Hartford.The sold out venue was a Congregational Church nearby.That picture of Mark Twain on a stick is a hand fan they gave out to the audience because like most old churches, it was not air conditioned.Very creative & community building I thought!
The book is 1030 pages plus appendices.

I may not have finished this in February, but it was my February #BookSpin.

I‘ve had this on my shelf for a long time & I‘d really love to tackle it this year! Is anyone interested in a buddy read?
It‘s a trilogy of historical novels set in 14th-c. Norway, originally published in 1920, 1921, & 1922. These would work well for anyone finishing the #192025 challenge this year! I‘m planning to use the first 2 books for 1920 & 1921.
I was thinking May—July or June—August, one book per month. Comment if you‘re interested!
pick3/5 stars for this “Barely a Bitsy” (just made it !) level in #ChunksterChallenge2025. I liked it well enough. I did. It just seemed … bloated. The action takes place over a 14-day period and it felt like I was reading every minute in real time. I did enjoy the descriptions of the Tudor period, though. Perhaps I‘ll pick up a nonfiction history of the era next. I‘ll probably continue with the series, but I‘m not in a hurry to do so.
pickCompleted the Chunkster level for #ChunksterChallenge2025. I‘d give it a pick because it is a story well told (and well translated, if you get the P+V version). I wouldn‘t say it‘s the “greatest novel of all time,” as some reviews call it. It does provide an interesting historical context of its time. And now I can finally check it off my list. ✔️
