I also can't believe we are in the last week of Q1 - it is whizzing by. You have some great books lined up.
Me neither. Time flies! Thanks. There are so many I want to read though. I’m never going to get through them all 😁
What an impressive pile of possibilities, Debs! I've always been fascinated by the story of Julian of Norwich. I love that you have such personal historical connections to Nottingham and King John. Best of luck with this pile of possibilities!
Thanks Pat. There is always so much I want to read with each quarter. I’m hoping to read many of them but I doubt I’ll get around to all 😊
Love your picks! So many choices ❤
Thanks Nicole. I’m never going to be able to get through all of them but I’ll give it a good go 😁. Lovely to chat on Greg and Al’s live earlier 😊
@@RaynorReadsStuff it was a blast!
Rainy and a wee bit chilly here in Portland, Oregon, to boot! I would love to visit Nottingham, someday. what a very rich history.
Come on over and I’ll show you around 😊 We have caves and a castle and Sherwood Forest on the doorstep as well as a great literary tradition 👍🏼
@@RaynorReadsStuff You've gotta deal! I do plan to travel to Sussex to see friends--someday!--and I'll take you up on that. I also have friends in Dublin, Shannon, and Belgast, Ireland 🇮🇪 C/ya in a couple hours! 📺
March and still cold and wet here in Devon too. I have scribbled down a list. Thanks Debs.
Oh Clare I am so bored with cold and wet. I’m so looking forward to some sunshine and reading some of these in the garden 😁
@@RaynorReadsStuff me too Debs, this winter seems eternal, and an age since last autumn when I sat in the garden reading, watching the birds and butterflies. I'm sick of hunching against the cold, dressed in too many clothes. At least the reading us going well.
Great picks! I believe that @alexunabridged is also reading "Femina" in April. Happy Reading! 😎📚👍
Yes I think he is. What are you planning?
Great pile! I look forward to reading Valkyrie with you.
Me too Vin. It arrived yesterday and looks fab 😊
I have Richard and John. Alfred the great by Justin pollard. I wish there was more known about Alfred the great.
After watching the last kingdom I wanted to know more about him. I have a biography in Henry v I also became interested in him after watching a movie. Harold the king by Helen hollick. Part of the book queen consort englands mid evil queens I missed the first quarter. I am related to king John through 2 branches. I am fascinated by his mother and learning everything about her. I am English, Welch, Scottish and Irish 70% and I love the history. I am just getting into Viking history since I did my genealogy and have Swedish and Norway in my dna. I love learning history. Some great books. Always look forward to seeing your books
Thanks Vickie. Wow it sounds like you have a brilliant selection to read. What fun to be related to King John. I am really looking forward to this quarter’s reading. Hope you are too 😊
Awesome pile of possibilities, Debs! Very much looking forward reading Femina in April, will be interested to see what you think of it too. Looks fascinating. The Scourging Angel looks cracking - I've been looking for a book on the Black Death so I think that one has to go on my own pile of possibilities! Am tempted to read something on King John and the Magna Carta myself - I've lost track of the amount of times I've been to Lincoln to look at the copy they hold there (was a favourite day trip of mine when I was a youngster, Lincoln castle and cathedral are two of my favourite historical buildings).
Plenty to keep you occupied for Q2! Happy reading ☺
Thanks Alex. I’m not going to have time for them all I don’t think but I’ll give them a good go. Love to compare notes after we’ve both finished Femina 😊.
Lots of good recs. River Kings and Femina I need to get to. Thanks for all the Medieval recs I hadn't heard of as well such as the Anglo Saxon and the Whitton book. Hope you enjoy your medieval reads!
Thanks Justin. I’m never going to get round to all of them lol but I’m sure going to give it a good go 😊
That's all we can do haha@@RaynorReadsStuff
This yearscfling past nearly April .its like I’m just ticking off the months. Don’t want it to go to fast I’ll be getting older to quickly lol. You have a great selection of books enjoy your reading ❤❤
Oh I know. The older I get the more quickly time flies by! Thank you. I think I’m going to have fun with these 😊
Have fun!
Thanks Storm. I’ll certainly try 😁
I think I might join the Viking train too Debs as I have Viking Britain by Thomas Williams on my shelf. I seem to have way more options for quarters 3 and 4 🤔
Welcome on board the Viking train 😁. Quarter 4 is always the quarter I seem to have more options for but I’ve been collecting books over the year from charity shops for Q2 this year because I didn’t have many last year. Happy reading 😊
I hope you get around to reading the Book of Margery Kempe. She is such a vivid character. Imagine the Wife of Bath if she wanted to be "holy." I believe at one point she did get a chance to talk about religious matters with Julian of Norwich. Otherwise, Margery kept herself busy by going on various pilgrimages and acting out. She would cry out whenever she thought of Christ's Passion and the louder, the better. (She was not a favorite with her fellow pilgrims.) It's amazing to "hear" this very human voice speaking to you from the past. She dictated her "book," as she was not literate and could not write.
If you don't mind my asking, which baron were you related to? I'm a genealogy nerd, so I'm fascinated to hear such details. When you find an ancestor in the "historic record," it really helps to make history come alive.
I’m looking forward to those two. I’m very into trying to find the female voices from the past. My ancestor was William de Mowbray. Mowbray is my maiden name and my dad once ran into someone of the same name who sent him a document pretentiously called The Mowbray Chronicles which charts the history of the family. Fascinating stuff 😊
So what are you going to read April 2-June 30? 😀
I thought I might try some romance 😂😂😊
Why bother with all these challengers you're already old should just read what ya feel like instead of forcing your self into strict reading rules.
I am reading what I feel like. I feel like doing all these challenges 😁. But your concern is touching 😂😂
