Beautiful books for when your monthly reading roundup needs a little facelift 😉

Every single Aardvark Book Club book pick since its inception. Updated monthly!

Do you, like me, often find yourself looking at a book cover thinking, "Y'all are doing waaay too much." Why are book covers so dang extra nowadays?

Some I've read, some are on the TBR. And to all the authors and publishers out there, K.I.S.S.

Historical fiction in medieval or early modern settings, from the court of Henry VIII to medieval monasteries.

Aardvark subscription picks going back as far as I can! This is a work in progress so I will keep adding older stuff as I have time💕

KCD2 inspired reads with loyal knights/bodyguards, brats who are trying their best, or medieval vibes.

Please let me know if you have more 🤲
