I have now finally read all of Rebecca Ross‘s books. I really enjoy her stories. Even though some elements appear in all her books, they always work for me.

Hilarious without being trivial; factual without being stuffy. If you like Mitchell, or history, or things English, you should read this book. If you don‘t like those things, you should read this book and maybe you would. Favorite quote below.

Lcsmcat “Henry VI never met his father but he wouldn‘t have remembered if he had. That‘s not because he was useless, though he was useless, but because he was only 8 months old when his father died. This wasn‘t an ideal situation: the King of England was a baby and the King of France was mentally ill and likely to die quite soon, at which point the baby would take over as King of France as well. Who came up with this system?” 2mo

A #kindledeal for anyone interested in the Queen Mum (and her fondness for cocktails 😄). #ebookdeals

LeahBergen I haven‘t read this one! 2mo
charl08 Are these the letters that end "down with the Nazis"? (This may be apocryphal! ) 2mo
rubyslippersreads @charl08 I haven‘t heard that, but I look forward to reading the book and finding out. 2mo

Lovely and meandering in the best possible way. Seriously, I‘m not sure how Queen Elizabeth‘s handbags haven‘t gotten some kind of honour for their decades of silent and faithful service. I got oddly emotional at points, especially later in the book (maybe because I personally remember the emotion of those moments). I‘m glad it ended shortly after William and Kate‘s wedding, because I bawled at the end of The Crown and could not handle that again.

GingerAntics This portrays Charles as hard done by and far more innocent in the collapse of his first marriage that is fair. Even though this is written by an American, it still does a wonderful job of telling the story of the late Queen. #SallyBedellSmith #ElizabethTheQueen #ElizabethII 2mo
