Embers of the Hands: Hidden Histories of the Viking Age
Book by Eleanor Barraclough

Very good look at a time in history I don't know much about. Generally well researched and well written.

I'm also working through the top 10 of 2025 as well, inspired by all the year end #bookstagram posts. This one is on my list, so I'll be curious to hear your impressions.


I liked Wild Dark shore. It’s worth a read . Not a very difficult one either. Maybe 200 pages of actual text. A lot of wasted space and 1 page chapters .

On to DCC#4.

Crime and Punishment now. It's different from what I imagined it would be.

Working on some classics so this will be later this year.

Great novel! If you enjoy Russian literature, I’d also recommend War and Peace.

Move it to the top of your list. I can already tell it will be one of my favorite books of all time.

I'll get to it. I know it will be a long commitment. C&P is my 2nd Russian literature. I read the Death of Ivan Ilyich and really enjoyed it so started on C&P.

Just fininshed this not long ago.



quote:

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Anxious People returns with an unforgettably funny, deeply moving tale of four teenagers whose friendship creates a bond so powerful that it changes a complete stranger’s life twenty-five years later.

Most people don’t even notice them—three tiny figures sitting at the end of a long pier in the corner of one of the most famous paintings in the world. Most people think it’s just a depiction of the sea. But Louisa, an aspiring artist herself, knows otherwise, and she is determined to find out the story of these three enigmatic figures.

Now starting this one that my wife recommended.



quote:

When his mother dies in a flitter crash, eighteen-year-old Ishmael Horatio Wang must find a job with the planet company or leave the system--and NerisCo isn't hiring. With credits running low, and prospects limited, he has just one hope...to enlist for two years with a deep space commercial freighter. Ishmael, who only rarely visited the Neris Orbital, and has never been off-planet alone before, finds himself part of an eclectic crew sailing a deep space leviathan between the stars.

Join the crew of the SC Lois McKendrick, a Manchester built clipper as she sets solar sails in search of profit for her company and a crew each entitled to a share equal to their rating.

The Godfather

About 10% in and really enjoying. Keep thinking about the movie and trying to compare things in the book to what happens in the movie, though.

One of the very few where I thought the film was much better than the book.

Working my way through some top 10 of 2025 lists.

Finished the Correspondent and on to The Savage, Noble Death of Babs Dionne which wasn't on a lot of lists, but I did see it on a few, and it looked appearling. Especially because it's a little more gritty/raw than a lot of the other novels I've been reading.
