[Artemisia] What 'cha Reading?

[Kathleen Govan]

Hello all!
 
Today, we had our A & S event, so we spent a portion of the day going over the class list for Estrella! Yeah!
 
Otherwise, I have just last night finished a Historical Fiction - Lion of Ireland, by Morgan Llewelyn, about the reign of King Brian Boru. Next up is the next in the series, Pride of Lions, about his son Donough. Really enjoyable. I also have recently re-read both Uppity Women of Shakespeare Times, and Medieval Times. And, I need to peruse once again "A Mid-summer's Night Dream", as our local theatre is getting ready to produce it next season (Sir Gareth is directing it!) 
 
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Everybody,
 
Been pretty slow here, probably most folks getting ready for Estrella.  I sure
have been!
 
So, here's another topic, what book(s) are your reading?  Or just finished,
or planning to read?
 
I'm in the middle of Edward, Prince of Wales and Aquitaine, by Richard
Barber.  It's been a really good book, and approaches the Black Prince's
life via his accounts, spending, buying, etc.  A unique approach that gives a
pretty good view of him.
 
Before this, I was reading A World Lit Only By Fire, by William Manchester. 
Actually, I wasn't too impressed by it, and didn't feel the need to
complete it.  He subscribes to the "everyone was dirty, and couldn't
find their way back home if they left", etc.  He also skips around on
periods, and makes many of the standard mistakes/myths that others have.  For
such a noted author, I was surprised.
 
Next I'll be reading The Devil's Brood, by Sharon Kay Penman.  I really
like her stuff, and am looking forward to this one.
 
Let's hear what you're reading,
 
Alan
