Total War Saga: THRONES OF BRITANNIA

It is 878 AD, and the Viking Invasion of Britain is over. The Norse warlords are firmly established, but the ambitious kings of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales have aspirations of their own – not least the great King Alfred of Wessex.

This is a very good film, quite violent and gritty with a strong cast. Fed up with the soft treatment of criminals and thugs in England, a group forms to administer their own justice. A very relevant subject at the present time as a gang culture seems to be on the rise in England. Although the films deals with getting back at those directly linked to the characters in the film, rather than random people. Everyone will have a view on this. Maybe it could have been done slightly better, they storyline wavers a little in the middle. However it will provoke a reaction from everyone.

I had won Wildfell by London Clarke in a giveaway. I'm really happy I did.

Wildfell by London Clarke is a true gothic horror that takes place in London, England. I loved all the character especially Nigel and Alice. While they weren't major characters, I still had a soft spot.

I don't want to give too much away, but I enjoyed the whole plot line of people going missing and a haunted house.

London Clarke did a great job with the setting of London, England even though she's not from there.

I would definitely recommend this book to those 15+. It is so good!

An interesting anthropological look into small town life in England, which also has a coven of witches who appear to rule the place. The book felt pretty timeless and kept my interest throughout. I'm glad I read it but don't really have much else to say about it. :)

This was one of my favourite books as a child and I still enjoy reading it from time to time as an adult.

The story of Mary Lennox leaving India to come to England is a heartwarming and magical story of her complete transformation.

This is a beautifully written novel that I really didn’t want to finish. It explores the gaps between science and superstition, and between friendship and romantic love. I felt immersed in 1890s Victorian England. I loved the bits about the surgeon Luke Garrett and his companion Martha who was a suffragette as well.

"This is a hugely underrated film, probably because it is so long and, coming so soon after the war, it got almost no distribution here. But it’s my second favorite Powell film, because he really gets under the skin of the government that ran England. Of course, it’s all about Churchill. An amazing film."

"The best of the Nathan Zuckerman novels, and that is saying something. The story rewinds several times, postmodern-style, and each retelling is a distinct, sometimes shocking alternative to the previous narratives, and yet the novel’s grip only tightens. Harrowing, funny, sexy, set in England and Israel, New York and New Jersey, altogether splendid."

I can't resist historical fiction novels, especially ones set in England or ones about the Suffragette Movement. Author Lissa Evans gave me all of this in her novel "Old Baggage" and you can read my #bookreview of this work on my blog here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/04/12/going-for-the-second-chances/
