It’s great to see how the own point of view changes when seeing a TV-series, reading the books then, listening to the audiobooks afterwards and finally seeing the series again.

Everything you perceive is more intense and you evaluate many scenes in a different way compared to the first view. Great experience with a great source and a great series!

is still with us as Sasha snuggles on my lap, and Sean Bean entertains us as Sharpe :-)

Wenn dir Textpassagen vor lauter Rührung die Tränen im die Augen treiben.

gibt es nicht, wenn du dein Buch dabei hast.

Watched It could easily have been made into another series instead of squishing A LOT into just under 2 hours. But I loved it nevertheless. The jeopardy of knowing that Uthred would have to be killed off or fans would still clamour for more, made for tense viewing 🫣 & the battle scenes were truly epic. What a brilliant cast & crew! And what an incredibly emotional ending! Can’t wait to watch it again! ⚔️ 👑

Late evenings at work are good for one thing and that is getting through audiobooks!

Finished Sharpe's Sword by which is the 14th book in the series and it is always a great adventure. Rupert Farley's voice is now as much Richard Sharpe as Sean Bean's is.

I normally don't spend my credits on anything under 8 hours, but The High Republic: A Test of Courage by Justina Ireland was far more enjoyable than I ever expected.

Schon seltsam, wenn du die Werbung bzw. den Trailer für "Seven Kings Must Die" siehst, Hauptdarsteller Alexander Dreymon gerade mal 40 ist, du aber genau weißt, dass der Protagonist (Uthred of Bebbanburg) im Buch schon weit in seinen 70ern ist, als er in diese Schlacht zieht.

Ich werd's trotzdem angucken. Schließlich hat der Autor den letzten Band der Warrior Chronicles Alexander gewidmet. Muss ja einen Grund gehabt haben 🥰

Been reading The Winter King by Bernard Cornwell on the suggestion of a friend. I have to say, I am really enjoying it and can't wait to read the rest of the trilogy.

I'm just so excited to be reading again after several years of difficulty with attention & brain fog issues

I'm doing a deep dive into after watching - I've now read twice & the series once & now I'm in the series, if you like & you'll love them

One of Bernard's tips to would be writers is to improve your work by analysing other books.
"Suppose you decide to build a better mousetrap.
You would begin, surely, by taking apart the existing mousetraps to see how they worked. You must do the same with books."

Does anyone here reads Bernard Cornwell books? I'm thinking about reading The Saxon Stories or The Grail's Quest. Which is your favorite? @bookstodon

What proved unexpected is that I am currently listening to Book 5 of novels, Prey.

I started the first one with a degree of trepidation, mainly out of concern about the interest of the content and setting, but Cornwell is quite an entertaining author.

I suspect that after a few more novels from this series I may start looking at the televised adaptation that stars Sean Bean.
