Reading an ARC ebook The Normans: From Raiders to Kings. I'm about 2/3 through and enjoying it--it goes far beyond William the Conqueror and follows the Normans into Italy and Byzantium. Fascinating stuff!

The Mistress of Spices by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni (first time I read it since I was a teenager)
Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!
