So the People of the Geats lamented over the fall of their lord, his hearth-companions, and said that he was a world-king, and the mildest, the gentlest of men, and most tender to his people, and most eager for their praise.

I finished this book, but I had to push myself to do so. One of those word books where I go “hmmm interesting” while I read it, then promptly forget everything I read.
I really enjoyed this version of Beowulf. Very accessible- could be this is geared towards a youth reading level BUT!! Lots of words I needed to have defined: tarn spoor brand (context was not fittable to my brain‘s understanding) and a few others. So PICK! I am glad I read this as an Introduction to my Grendel audiobook I am going to start tomorrow for club.
(Apparently I saw 2007 movie but only recall how scary was Angelina Jolie 💃🏼🗡️🐍)
Starting a “pre-read” of Beowulf, in a hopefully easy-to-digest version, BEFORE tackling the next Gnome de Plume bookclub pick of Grendel by John Gardner. #booksandbeer 🍻 #classics

The Daily Doctor was supposed to be published last year in September, but was pushed back to August 2023. One of my longest standing pre-order ever.
Came across Mother Tongue by accident and I can't wait to read it (let's not start kidding ourselves, it's going to live on #MountTBR for a while first).
