Return to blogging

For the past several years I’ve been reading less fiction and more non-fiction. Part of this is due to a reduced ability to concentrate as covid and the politics of the world loomed large. I started reading more medieval history books for research to accompany a series of trips to Europe. There were a lot of famous medieval sites I’d never seen before, and suddenly I had a burning need to see as many of them as I could. These were long, stressful, but amazing trips and I had the opportunity to visit so many (SO MANY!) churches, castles, and historic cities and sites.

A few months ago I stopped reading fiction altogether as I devoted my spare time to the final one of these intense trips. I’m back and want to start reviewing again. I’ve been reading the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells and loving them. I’m able to concentrate on a story again and enjoy fiction.

So I’ll be reviewing and posting again. Not everything I read. Sometimes it’s nice to just enjoy a book and not have to analyze it. But I’m hoping to get a new post up once or twice a month. I'm thinking one book or TV show review and one medieval history post of some sort. 

It feels good to be back.
