The Greenlanders
bailedI think I‘m having an issue with the structure of this, I like seeing the artifacts & blurbs but the longer explanations & geography are daunting. I think I need a museum for this knowledge, not a book.
Yesterday I was sent this enamel pin for reviewing Great Big Beautiful Life for #Viking #Penquin. Thank you so much for sending it to me @penguinrandomhouse

Recent acquisition:
📖 The Vikings (National Geographic) by Howard La Fay
so-soI appreciated the attempt to tie archaeological finds to the Norse folklore or Sagas. I learned quite a bit, but I could not stomach the slang. "No take-backsies" doesn't sound very academic, in my opinion.
so-soI was so excited when I saw this on the #WPNF25 longlist because Vikings, but I ended up being a little disappointed. It focuses on grave goods and exploring the culture through them but never quite pulled me in.
so-soThis romance was not the positive, fun story I expected. Read my full review here: https://debbybrauer.org/#passion-project
Publication is expected April 8.
