My score reeked. Quite a few are on my TBR; I just haven't read them yet. Three faves:
1. THE ONCE AND FUTURE KING: “The fantastic thing about war was that it was fought about nothing--literally nothing.“
2. OUTLANDER (called CROSS STITCH in the UK): “I am your master…and you're mine. Seems I canna possess your soul without losing my own.“
3. THE 39 STEPS: “The men who knew that he knew what he knew had found him.”

ChaoticMissAdventures I am trying to get to once and future king I think this summer, I have had it for years and just have not gotten around to it. 6d

rubyslippersreads One of my favorite books. 6d

DGRachel I didn‘t realize Cross Stitch was Outlander! That brings my dismal total up to 16. 🤪 6d

The Quest for Merlin | Nikolai Tolstoy

Random book from our home library:

📖 The Quest for Merlin by Nikolai Tolstoy

Bookwomble I have this one, too 😊 I read it in the '80s during my peak Arthurian phase, so it's a bit hazy now, but I remember enjoying it. Have you read the tagged? It's Tolstoy's fantasy retelling of the Merlin story based on Welsh traditions, and I really enjoyed this one. It was intended as the first in a trilogy, which was sadly sidelined when he lost a libel suit.

Coming of the King

bibliothecarivs @Bookwomble, I have not read that one. Your description made me think of The Crystal Cave by Mary Stewart, which I did read about 30 years ago for school and enjoyed.

The Story of the Champions of the Round Table | Howard Pyle

Random book from our home library:

📖 The Story of the Champions of the Round Table Written and Illustrated by Howard Pyle

BooksandCoffee4Me I‘ve read many of the Arthur stories, but not Pyle‘s. It looks a bit daunting and yet, strangely compelling at the same time. 😊 4w

The Fall of Arthur | J.R.R. Tolkien

Reading Tolkien‘s commentary about Old English Verse this morning. I really do enjoy this poetic style.

BarbaraJean I think this was my favorite essay in the book. It was fascinating to learn about how this poetic style was constructed and then to flip back to the poem and notice so much I didn't notice the first time! 2mo

Daisey @BarbaraJean Yes, I enjoyed it a lot! 2mo

The Fall of Arthur | J.R.R. Tolkien

#fellowshipoftolkien #medievaltolkien

The alliteration and rhythm mimics the sense of urgency; I can feel the galloping and the heartbeat of the moment. I‘m late to the party, but I‘m loving this work.

Daisey I do love the rhythm of this alliterative poetic style! 3mo

The Fall of Arthur | J.R.R. Tolkien

#FellowshipOfTolkien Readers, here‘s our plan for The Fall of Arthur! I would like to finish reading it in February, but I also think this book may require some slow, close reading. Remember our schedule is always a very loose guideline and feel free to post your thoughts at any time. I hope to make time to post each weekend if not during the week.
