I‘m currently listening to this….and honestly I thought that Margaret Beaufort was cray cray….nope her son definitely has her beat. Also this installment in the series is very good. I can‘t wait to listen to the next one. #books #series #tudors #historicalfiction
Day 5.
Prompt: book you‘d take with you whilst questing
This one is short and should be informative (I haven‘t actually read it yet…).

pickI love this book!!! I love historical fiction so much!!! This book is based on Anne Neville's life. She was the wife of Richard III. It was an interesting read 4/5 stars!!
pickA compelling work of fiction, even though I really don‘t think much of this story is true. The idea that Henry VII spent so much time fearful and paranoid is new to me, and I don‘t buy it the way it is presented here. Still, I loved Elizabeth of York and the way Ms Gregory portrayed her. She was caught in the middle of her York family and her husband‘s family, the Tudors. And I really felt compassion for the difficult choices she had to make.
#currentlyreading while working on dinner: tacos 🌮 and enchiladas!! This book is about Elizabeth of York, daughter of Elizabeth Woodville and Edward IV, and her marriage to Henry VII.
pickImpossible to know if this story bears any resemblance to Queen Anne Neville‘s real life because hers was so poorly documented. But I‘m fascinated by what Ms Gregory did with her depiction of Richard III who I‘ve always thought of as terrible. He isn‘t terrible at all in this book. Interesting the way Ms Gregory portrayed Elizabeth Woodville (The White Queen) as disliked and feared in this account. I‘ve always known her as well-liked. Great book.
The two books I‘m #currentlyreading. I‘m about 3 chapters into #natashalester‘s #therivierahouse, and I‘m in love. #philippagregory‘s #thekingmakersdaughter is also very interesting.
