pickA well written historical fiction set in the 7th century. Three monks leave Ireland to find an island without any people so they can live without any negative worldly influence. Train and Cormac are very likable men. Artt is more unlikely to be by the two other monks. The island is covered with sea birds, which are used for foods, fire, down, feathers until they leave for the winter. Will they survive? Lots of rituals and ceremonies. 4/5 stars

pickI ended up enjoying our April #NunLitQuarterly pick quite a bit. Rich in historical detail. Lots of inner turmoil for our young heroine. A good deal of drama yet filled with quiet, reflective moments. I think it was meant to be a happy ending, but I was left feeling concerned about how things might play out—hopefully just lots of romance and reading.

Requested a cleanse from reading Little Cruelties and this was recommended.
pickThis was so good. The #SUNDAYBUDDYREAD group has our final discussion Sunday so I won‘t say much here.
It is beautifully written. Short but had a big impact. Thank you for picking this one, @TheBookHippie

I'm totally in love with this book. Steampunk WWI is how the author referred to it. We're currently waiting for an orange line T train.
