Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Goodreads Review: The quintessential book for all those Merlin lovers out there. This book began my fascination with Arthurian lore, so I would heartedly recommend this even to people who don’t know much about the subject.

Doctor Who: Only Human by Gareth Roberts

Goodreads Blurb: Somebody’s interfering with time. The Doctor, Rose, and Captain Jack arrive on modern-day Earth to find the culprit — and discover a Neanderthal Man, twenty-eight thousand years after his race became extinct. Only a trip back to the primeval dawn of humanity can solve the mystery.

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Goodreads Review: I think Das the Neanderthal may be my favourite Doctor Who character of all time – I wish he would show up in the show. This was a brilliant book – the ending was a bit bittersweet considering the fate of the other Neanderthals, but still a really good story. More like this please Doctor Who.

Goodreads Blurb: In the fall of 2000, Gilmore Girls premiered on the WB and viewers were introduced to the quirky world of Stars Hollow and the Gilmores who had made it their home, mother-daughter best friends Lorelai and Rory Gilmore. With the show in its seventh season on the fledgling CW, Coffee at Luke’s is the perfect look at what has made the show such a clever, beloved part of the television landscape for so long.

Goodreads Review: A scream from start to finish – but then what else would you expect of an essay book about Gilmore Girls.

Storm Front by Jim Butcher

Goodreads Blurb: Harry Dresden is the best at what he does. Well, technically, he’s the only at what he does. So when the Chicago P.D. has a case that transcends mortal creativity or capability, they come to him for answers. For the “everyday” world is actually full of strange and magical things—and most don’t play well with humans. That’s where Harry comes in. Takes a wizard to catch a—well, whatever. There’s just one problem. Business, to put it mildly, stinks.

So when the police bring him in to consult on a grisly double murder committed with black magic, Harry’s seeing dollar signs. But where there’s black magic, there’s a black mage behind it. And now that mage knows Harry’s name. And that’s when things start to get interesting.

Magic – it can get a guy killed.

The Wolf Age: The Vikings, the Anglo-Saxons and the Battle for the North Sea Empire by Tore Skeie

Goodreads Blurb: The first major book on Vikings by a Scandinavian author to be published in English reframes the struggle for a North Sea empire and puts listeners in the mindset of Vikings, providing new insight into their goals, values, and what they chose to live and die for. The Wolf Age takes listeners on a thrilling journey through the bloody shared history of England and Scandinavia, and on across early medieval Europe, from the wild Norwegian fjords to the wealthy cities of Muslim Andalusia.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Goodreads Review: And in other news, even if they’re made into Christian Saints after they died – Viking Kings were probably massive d**** in life. A fascinating tale of the machinations of some of the last Viking like Kings – full of politics, betrayal, battles and great sagas worthy of Game of Thrones. But like … real, so better 😁

There’s a Viking in my Bed by Jeremy Strong

Goodreads Blurb: After falling overboard from his longboat, Sigurd the Viking finds himself in modern-day Flotby – a small English seaside town. Finding refuge in the aptly named Viking Hotel, Siggy’s attempts to embrace modern ways end in disaster. His attempt at romance is no better off as even the course of true love doesn’t run smoothly when Siggy’s involved!

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Goodreads Review: Viking Warrior travels through the mists of time, and finds himself forced to be an unpaid servant to a pair of ungrateful hotel managers. This description makes it sound like I did not like this book, that is not true, as a child I loved this book – but it’s surprising what an adult perspective brings to the story.

The Time Traveller’s Guide to Regency Britain: The Immersive and Brilliant Historical Guide to Regency Britain by Ian Mortimer

Goodreads Blurb: This is the age of Jane Austen and the Romantic poets; the paintings of John Constable and the gardens of Humphry Repton; the sartorial elegance of Beau Brummell and the poetic licence of Lord Byron; Britain’s military triumphs at Trafalgar and Waterloo; the threat of revolution and the Peterloo massacre. In the latest volume of his celebrated series of Time Traveller’s Guides, Ian Mortimer turns to what is arguably the most-loved period in British history – the Regency, or Georgian England.

Goodreads Review: Wow, this is not the view of regency England that you get if you all you do is read Jane Austen.
