HILDEGARD!!! HILDEGARD!!! MY HOMEGIRL HILDEGARD OF BINGEN!!! (shaking with excitement they havent said her name yet but i know exactly which 12th century german nun they're alluding to) (i am genuinely planning on naming my first cat after her) (i feel normal emotions about hildegard of bingen)

no bc i was absolutely locked in for the life of Æthelflæd

already very interesting and i'm already thinking about the possibilities of pairing this book (obviously nonfiction) with the novel The Everlasting. there's shared ideas there. I should really start a book club, or like, a substack.
