Welcome to Litsy!

It's hard to read about Jane Grey and Mary I without thinking wistfully about what Hilary Mantel might have done with this material.

I just got done reading this book and it was very interesting take on Henry VIII's children and his great niece. It went in depth of each of the children and what happened during their reigns of England. I rated the book a 4 out of 5 stars.

Another book with a love/hate relationship. I loved YOUNG BESS the first book in this trilogy, it was a five-star read, I loved everything about it. Now this book, there was such a lack of focus on Elizabeth and the secondary characters seemed flat, uninteresting, I just could not connect with any of them. But I did enjoy the author's writing. I love her descriptive style and the way she recreated Tudor London.

Such a good story

You know when a story is finally going the way you want it to , and then it takes a hard right to a different direction?!!! This continues throughout this book... I‘m having a hard time getting anything done because I can‘t leave this book ..

I have been reading this one for a few days.. it took me a little bit to get into it; it‘s a bit different but it‘s a good read, the reason maybe it was hard for me to get into it is because the main character is fictional and up until now all characters in the series are real and somewhat based on real events ... maybe by varying degrees but I still enjoy it all

This is my second time trying to read this, and I just couldn‘t do it! I feel like Gregory threw in the supernatural element—Hannah‘s Sight—just for the fun of it, because it would make money. It doesn‘t have any precedent in her other books. I think I need to let this one go.

Hey we finally found some books that I got myself. As far as I remember these all came from various book sales.

Have you read any? What did you think? Anything I should try to get to sooner rather than later?
