4 0 ReplyThanks for this! I'm about to download my local library app and was wondering where to start with my digital reads. Haven't read a proper books in ages but I have the 'The Great Mortality' sitting on my kitchen table staring at me. Waiting for me to make some 'me time' for horrific reading
3 0 ReplyVery welcome! Good luck with The Great Mortality, I'd be curious to know what you think of it once you've given it a go (and if it turns out to be the work referenced for the details on the plague flagellents, because that was wild and I'd be keen to pick it up for a little more information on those dudes).
