Busy reading- how is the list coming?

I will  give you 2 clues as to which book
I started  today~ and finished today-
from my first ever published  book list.

Clue # 1 The setting is something like this.. image, what would it have looked like
(rounded up) 1,210 years ago..  (here is a link to give credit to where I found this image)

         and here is Clue # 2 
(which may give it away!)


Now, you'll have to stay tuned to see what book I will tell you about tomorrow..
and what books I have finished already. Find out what the verdict is so far on my list... What  was  good, -and were there any
 I didn't like?
