Just finished reading "Avalon" by Anya Seton. I really really recommend it if you like #historicalfiction (set in 10th centuray England, Ireland, Cornwall, Iceland, Greenland, and North America). Such a great story!

Just read this wonderful story by @yasmeenfahmy.bsky.social from last year: inner-worlds.ghost.io/issue-9-wond... ...and thought it was something nice to share
