Vikings

[close] The focus of this group is historical fiction set in Ancient and Medieval eras(with some post Medieval), in any geographical location. Preference is given to themes of: engaging politics, sprawling battles, drugs(errr .. mead) and debauchery. If authors like Robyn Young, Bernard Cornwell, Steven Pressfield resonate with you, this group is designed for you. If you are bursting in your seams to discuss their books, please do come in. AUTHORS welcome as READERS ONLY. Limited opportunity for self promotion exists in A&M! No romantic melodrama books please. Want to gush about this great Victorian-era romance novel you've discovered and had been smitten with? Not the right group for you. We encourage freedom of opinion on books and authors in this group. As long as the opinion is respectful and harmless and breaks no Group rules. Don't feel you can't be honest about a book or author. No matter how popular the book or author is. Our Group Motto, courtesy of George S. Patton, is: If everybody is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.

[close] Inspired by the tale of the Story-Wise Icelander, this reading group is dedicated to sharing and discussing the sagas and lore of the medieval North.

[close] In this group you will find a daily post of a chapter from the Viking and Norse sagas. This group was originally set up to discuss the Viking and Icelandic Sagas which we hoped would be featured in the BBC 4 Series of the same name. But they weren't so we will do this instead. Please feel free to post entries and comments and to ask questions.

[close] Hello, fellow members. You are probably dead if you are at the hotel but hey, don't worry. Well done for dying a brave death worthy enough for Valhalla. You're going to be living here forever or until Ragnorak but more about that in the Hotel Brochure. Here, take your room key and the minibar key. Take advantage of our many facilities. Dine like a Viking with your fellow roommates. Remember, just because your training for Doomsday, it doesn't mean you can't relax! PS: Unless you died with a weapon or have a big stash or red gold, you can use the ones that we provide here at Valhalla. PSS: Weekdays are themed. Be sure to watch out for dragons and bloodbaths. Good luck and good day.
