It's Booktober! I'm doing my best to hit my reading goals this month, (despite pirate-related distractions 🏴☠️)
But I did want to use @booktober to share with you all the very excellent titles I've been reading this year!
By Her Hand by @mariontaffe_writer
The engrossing and propulsive historical fiction debut set in AD 910: Freda's world is at war, and when her village is decimated in a savage raid and her father goes missing, Freda must find the strength to survive.
Taken in by the church, her only option is a life of servitude or prayer. But the cunning bishop sees an opportunity. As well as teaching Freda to write, he uses her survival as evidence of a miracle so as to attract pilgrims who bring wealth. As Freda chafes against the bishop's increasing control, she develops a friendship with the Mercian leader Ethelflæd, Lady of the Mercians, who shows her what it is to lead as a woman in a world that worships warrior kings.
If you have $5 to spare -- I'm raising money for reading and literacy for young people in Western Sydney this Booktober. (I'll put the link in my bio!).
