pickI devoured this book. It covered his life from his birth to the birth of his firstborn. All he wanted was to be treated the same as other performers. I admire him for his work and I'm so glad I got to read his story.

pickHad this book for a few years before I decided to read it. I only purchased it because the title is similar to my daughter's name. It was GREAT!!! I recommend it to any type of reader. It has intrigue, a nasty villainess, love interests, and a hero who will not betray her Hebrew beliefs.

"One for all and all for one." One of my all-time favorite books and authors. When I saw the PopSugar prompt for a book that inspired a phrase, I knew which book I would read. I haven't read it in 25 years, so it was about time for a reread.
I also finished Paolo Coelho's The Alchemist. Loved it.

Learned so much about Juauna, sister to Catherine (Henry VIII's first wife). She was abandoned by everyone she loved and was separated from her children. Such an interesting creature. After reading Gortner, I'm left wondering, was she truly insane?
I also finished The Elusive Mrs. Pollifax (E) and The Royal Mistress (2 word title). Started The Goldfinch (Chunkster, movie in 19).

Whoa!! This book was awesome. I cringed during the scene when the "bear" was acting as a Holy figure to persuade the priest to do as it said. Completed Queen Isabella too. On to #ReadHarder2019 (alternate history novel) #Booked2019 (female detective)

I did it. I finally did it. I ignored most of everything around me. I finished 4 and 100 pgs of my nonfiction. Thank you @Andrew65 and @TheReadingMermaid #24b4Monday
