so-so★★★☆☆
I bought this and read it to explore the clash of native worldview with Christianity in early mediaeval Ireland. The story was interesting and the writing was moving at times. It would have earned a higher rating if 1) it's central framing device wasn't that a pagan woman's writings somehow survived mediaeval Christianity into modern times in order to be translated by Horsely (so very unlikely that it borders on fantasy), ⬇️
pickOne of my favourite's saga...

Got off to a great start for #MarvellousMarch today. I finished Apples Never Fall on Audio, which I enjoyed. It wasn't my favorite Moriarty, but it was good. I also started and finished Holmes, Marple, and Poe, which was entertaining and quick. It's getting late - Poppy has already gone to bed (aka my lap), but I'm gonna get in a little nighttime reading of the tagged book. It's been a minute since I read book 1, so 🤞I am not lost.

My choice for April is Hexed. It is book two of The Iron Druid series. So many series to finish and start. I need to update my list. #SeriesLove2024
pickThis is the 6th novel in this series.
I loved this book! Each one builds on the other and they just get better and better!
Oberon is hilarious and Atticus has a great case of snark!!
I can‘t think of anything negative!

pickBook #24 of the year: “The Druids” by Stuart Piggott
I was looking for a straightforward and fact-based look at the history of the Druids and Celtic culture in general. This was definitely it. Piggott looks carefully at oral tradition, primary sources from Romans, funereal customs, architecture, and early Christian writings to present a realistic picture of how little we actually know. Very dry so only read if you‘re a nerd 😂
