Reading Wednesday
Jan. 21st, 2026 12:03 pmHopefully this year I can keep up with these a bit better.
So far I've only read one book in 2026, but I also want to mention the last few I finished in 2025:
The Dark Queens: The Bloody Rivalry that Forged the Medieval World, by Shelley Puhak - This is about two Merovingian queens, Brunhild and Fredegund--I didn't know anything about the Merovingians going into this, or much about that time period in Europe (6th century), so I learned a lot and it was really fascinating.
Nemesis: Medieval England's Greatest Enemy, by Catherine Hanley - More medeival history, this time about Philip Augustus, who in spite of my interest in the Plantagenets I didn't know much about. This book is a biography focusing primarily on his relationship with Henry II of England and his sons, which is fun.
The Impossible Fortune, by Richard Osman - The Thursday Murder Club books are always a great time. I think some of the various different POV segments were not quite necessary, but it didn't feel as egregious in this one as in the last Osman book I read (We Solve Murders, I think?).
And this year so far I've read:
Guilty by Definition, by Susie Dent - All the main characters work for a dictionary so there's lots of fancy vocabulary floating around, which was delightful to me. The story itself is also really great, the mystery engaging, takes place in Oxford. Tolkien got namedropped. I had fun!
