Re: What Are You Reading? June 2022
I started reading "Sistersong" by Lucy Holland.
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!

Re: What Are You Reading? June 2022
I’m reading The Cottage on Winter Moss by Allie Cresswell, a dual timeline story. So a contemporary as well as historical saga.
I’m also reading The Good Servant by Fern Britton via Pigeonhole. It’s a fictionalised account about Marion Crawford who was governess to the Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret.

Re: What Are You Reading? June 2022
My current book actually has a historical side too, some chapters are telling the story of when the artist Cezanne lived in Aix-en-Provence, and will presumably lead up to how the "lost work" of the title came to be lost. So it's a bit of a dual time frame.

- Preferred HF: I like a series the best - more to look forward to after one book ends. Masters of Rome, The Century Trilogy, & the Outlander series are some of my favorites.
