So sorry I'm late, Shardlakians! I just got home from vacation yesterday? How are we doing on TOMBLAND? And thoughts or comments? I am wwwaaayyy behind, so I have nothing to say except that I hope to be catching up this month! If you're like me, no worries! You're definitely not alone! Next check-in will be 8/31 with a final discussion on 9/30 over the entire book. Have a great week! 🩵💙🩵

LiseWorks I love this book. This time, it seems to be all about the legal system, and boy, it's sad. 6d

AnneCecilie I love this one as well, as I‘ve mentioned before this series is a reread for me. But I had completely forgotten why Shardlake was in Norwich. I remember more of what happens later. I completely agree @LiseWorks about the legal system, imagine being put in trial and not being allowed to pay for someone to defend you. I can‘t imagine how many have been wrongly convicted because of it 6d

kwmg40 I‘m enjoying this book very much. The length is a bit daunting but it is interesting learning about the legal system in that time. 6d

dabbe @LiseWorks It is stunningly sad, isn't it? 6d

dabbe @AnneCecilie Pretty much everything about living during the Tudor times was tough, whether you were poor or the wife of the king. As bad as our modern times may be, nothing compares to that! 6d

dabbe @kwmg40 🩵🎯🩵 And thank goodness for 3 months! 😂 6d

Daisey I‘m also way behind and currently working on catching up on Kristin Lavransdatter as well, so we‘ll see how that goes with school about to start as well. 6d

dabbe @Daisey 🩵🎯🩵 6d

lil1inblue I'm plugging along! I like the book, but compared to some of the others I feel it's dragging just a bit. But I still have 65% to go, so we'll see what happens! 5d

lil1inblue @liseworks @annececilie The legal system is infuriating! And the punishments are so excessive for many of the crimes! Yet again, those with means can game the system, and those without suffer - often wrongly. 5d

dabbe @lil1inblue I hear ya! 🩵🎯🩵 5d

And TGIF!!! 😍

Mollyanna TGIF Denise! Thank you for organizing this buddy read. I am going to miss spending time with Matthew and his gang when we finish. 😂 3w

Daisey Sounds good, especially since I‘ve yet to start. If I get caught up on my current audiobooks, I may give in and find this one on audio. 3w

dabbe @Mollyanna Me, too! 💙🩵💙 3w

dabbe @Daisey Boy, do I hear ya! I'm behind on all of my group reads, so I'm glad to have more time to read when I can with this one. 💙🩵💙 3w

Hey, Shardlakians~
Maybe I'm in lazy mode because it's the summer, but I have a proposed idea for reading this last book. Please read the two choices above and let me know below which one you would like to do: choice 1 or choice 2. Whoever has the most votes by Sunday, 7/21, wins! I'll then let everyone know. 🤩

LiseWorks I like the discussions it keeps me fresh. But periodically, check-ins will do until the last part. Do I win? Lol 3w

Mollyanna Similar to @LiseWorks I like the idea of check-ins until a final discussion at the end. 3w

Karisimo Check-ins, then a final discussion sounds fine to me 3w

See All 8 Comments

lil1inblue I agree with @liseworks @mollyanna and @karisimo - check-ins and final discussion work for me! 3w

PurpleyPumpkin I‘m am nowhere near caught in my reading of this series!😅 But if you need votes, I‘m happy to add to the tally. And I agree with my fellow Shardlakians, check-ins along the way with a final in-depth discussion at the end sound good. 3w

OutsmartYourShelf I‘m not fussed either way. I tend to read it only a few days before the discussion date anyway. 3w

Deblovestoread I haven't even started so I'm good with a final discussion at the end. 3w

kwmg40 I too am good with check-ins and a final discussion at the end. 3w

It just turn 8 PM in Phoenix, AZ Temps are still above 100º, but the sun is down. Sitting on the couch, ready to catch up with the #ShardlakeBR. Kate almost made it to the couch. She's already hygge-in'.

Have a lovely Sunday, everybody, and kick butt this week! 🩵💙🩵

@julieclair 😘

The #ShardlakeBR is beginning our LAST book in the series. I can't believe it! We'll be on the merry ol' island of England surrounded by water on all sides! It looks like a lot of time will be spent in the Northfolk area, bordering the North Sea on the east. The North Sea reminds me of Wart (King Arthur) learning to fly as a goose (thanks to Merlyn's magic) over the North Sea with Lyo-Lyok. Love that book! 🌊

julieclair Enjoy! 1mo

#ShardlakeBR @dabbe

Excellent discussion yesterday, Shardlakians! We now approach the last book in the series: TOMBLAND. And it is a major chunkster: 86 chapters and close to 900 pages! That's why we'll read it in three parts; then, the length will be pretty close to what we've been doing all along. Happy reading!

I started reading this back in September with my fellow Shardlakians and I just finished it today! Needless to say, I‘m woefully behind in the series but I‘m continuing on and hope to catch up eventually. 😅 This was a reread for me (I last read it in 2011) and it did not disappoint. Part history, part mystery, part fiction and completely entertaining! A great story told by a master storyteller. 4/5⭐️
