I decided that I needed to read something not quite as dry as a history book so I started Beneath the Citadel by Destiny Soria last night. It's a YA fantasy and I am about 50 pages in so far.
Still reading Black Tudors: The Untold Story by Miranda Kaufmann as well which is very good so far, albeit a bit dry.
#CurrentlyReading the second to last library book I have out right now. The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh is YA #fantasy. I am enjoying it so far. Will probably finish tomorrow while the 13 year old is skiing.
