Tome Thursday: Bloodline

Hello everyone!

Oh.

My.

GOD.

Can you believe it? I FINISHED THIS BOOK!

I'm not exaggerating when I tell you this one had a similar fate as it's predecessor, aka sitting there on my shelf all abandoned and neglected with a bookmark stuck about halfway through. It's testimony to the fact that I really, really hate leaving things unfinished that I went back and chewed through the rest of the book.

Which, technically speaking, did all happen within two or so days in the end.

Once I sit down to something, there's no telling with what kind of vengeance I'll do it!

Of course if you'll recall, I just always seem to have this kind of problem with the series in general. And what series, do you ask?

Why, Wars of the Roses, of course. And the book is called Bloodline.

Tome Thursday: Trinity

Hello everyone!

So lo and behold! I've finally taken my own advice and I'm now going to be chewing through the books that I've sort of begun reading and/or haven't finished yet, because I want to have a semi-clean slate before I head to the seaside for my vacation. Or, that's the plan at least, who knows if it's going to go the way I want it to haha? Probably not, but one can always hope!

The very first on my VERY long reading list was Trinity, by author Conn Iggulden, because that poor thing has been sitting there for a while about halfway done, and I couldn't bring myself to read it for some reason or other. Maybe it had to do with the fact that, this book in particular, seems to show that Iggulden is pro-Lancastrian and I'm prety much pro-York when it comes to taking sides in the War of the Roses, or the Cousins' War as it was also called. Or maybe that's just my feeling and I didn't quite get the memo right, but I'm fairly sure his commentary in the author's note section of the book point towards the whole Lancaster thing more than York.
