RE: My Families Christmas Tradition and More About Me

It's funny that I was just reading about a character called Sven in a book of Bernard Cornwell. My first landlord in the US was Norwegian and he showed me photos of amazing places in Norway, if you are in touch with some relatives you should absolutely try to pay them a visit, it's gorgeous over there!

Sort:  

I totally plan to go over there some time! My family moved a few generations back so I no longer have any family, that I know of, in Norway but even so I would love to visit. As for the book, did it happen to be part of The Last Kingdom series? I haven't read many of his books but I was planning on reading that one since there is a show made on it so thought I would read the book then watch the show!

Yes, it's the last kingdom series, I purchased all 10 books!! I am a huge fan of Bernard Cornwell, one of the first English books I read was from the "Saxon Chronicles" series, I just find them easy to read and generally they are great stories.

Well then as soon as classes end for the semester I will crack the book. I only have the first one right now but if I enjoy it (I think I might) then I will be very likely to get the rest! And I will look into Saxon Chronicles, though I do not believe that I have read any books by Bernard Cornwell. I am excited now!

They are addictive :) the Saxon Chronicles are basically the story of King Arthur put in a more realistic historical context, I read it several years ago and I enjoyed it, I hope you will too

Well thank you for he recommendation, I wish I had a book to recommend you but recently my reading list is limited to some first year textbooks.

No worries, actually the downside of having joined steemit is that now I have less time to read books :)
