The Queen Mother
The Queen Mother | William Shawcross
3 posts | 1 read | 10 to read
The official and definitive biography of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, the most beloved British monarch of the twentieth century. Consort of King George VI, mother of Queen Elizabeth II, and grandmother of Prince Charles, Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyonthe ninth of the Earl of Strathmores ten childrenwas born on August 4, 1900, and, certainly, no one could have imagined that her long life (she died in 2002) would come to reflect a changing nation over the course of an entire century. Vividly detailed, written with unrestricted access to her personal papers, letters, and diaries, this candid royal biography by William Shawcross is also a singular history of Britain in the twentieth century.

It‘s a hard week. A ridiculous week. I‘m continuing to downsize my “book footprint” in the house because my house is only so big and my husband and children take up more and more room every year. Books I‘ve read, ones I‘ve had on my TBR for ages, ones I just can‘t justify keeping when I haven‘t read them since college. I have to focus more on library checkouts, both physical and electronic, instead of sitting on physical TBRs for years! #anewleaf

Tamra It‘s difficult, but I do find a good cull refreshing once I‘ve decided to undertake the task. 1y
mrsmarch @Tamra this photo doesn‘t even show the two piles of history books and mystery books that I decided to turn in to fundraiser baskets for an event in the spring! Just the ones I couldn‘t figure out how to “theme” for that occasion. 1y

#BookMoods #Royalty I haven‘t read this detailed book about the Queen Mom, it‘s the official biography so no gossip or wild events in this one.😃

Here some of my nonfiction bookshelves and apparently I want more so I also signed up for the #2018NonfictionBookExchange hosted by @inwhichHeikereadsharder I've been stuck in the house since it is so cold, so I'm tempted by all these swaps! I'm stopping with this and the #funkopopswap for a while! But narrative nonfiction is one of my favorite genres, so I couldn't resist. Someday I'm going to read this massive bio of the Queen Mother

TheKidUpstairs Richards, and Jagger, and Bowie - Oh My! I love your selection 😍😍 I'm trying to limit my swaps this year, but the non- fiction and Potterhead swaps have me tempted. 6y
MallenNC @TheKidUpstairs Thank you! I love rock star books. Duff McKagan's is really good too. I have a few other Bowie bios but they are in a different room. My books aren't well organized! Swaps are so tempting but I really do have to stop with these until spring. 6y
heikemarie Love! It‘s going to be so fun! 6y
