1- No? My mom has intermittently claimed that my middle name- Marie was for her bff at the time 🤷♀️
2- I will straight binge any Elizabeth 1 historical fiction. I find her fascinating.

pickI have read quite a bit about Jane, and only one or two other books about Katherine and Mary, so I was kept interested. With regards to Elizabeth I, this book sure looked at a different side to her, where she was so very worried about being outsted by others in her family to take over the throne. Katherine and Mary were next in line since Elizabeth had no children (alongside Mary of Scots). I listened to the audio and had no problem with it.
pickThis #chunkster was a fantastic and in-depth read regarding Queen Elizabeth the First. If you're a fan of historic nonfiction reads I highly recommend this author. You will be given a lot of information but in a way thatbit almost reads as a work of fiction. In otherwords not like a textbook.
so-so2nd in trilogy - was ok, bit weaker than the first, but will finish the trilogy.
Todays reading space 😁

pickEnjoyed my outing in the usual toxic court of the Tudors.
Read too many Tudor books years ago and have given them a miss for a long time. I liked another book this author wrote, I am giving her Tudor ones a go!
panI thought this book had a great concept; six different authors recounting the lives of Henry VIII wives, another author to recount Henry's side of each story. I wanted to like this book but, I did not. The stories just did not flow. I struggled getting through the stories, the recount of Henry's part felt like it was just a repeat. There was nothing exciting about this book, I would recommend a big pass on this one.
