Remembering the Bones: A Novel | Frances Itani

so-so

This was good. The initial crash brought me in and although the memories initially weren‘t as interesting, I found it picked up a bit when Georgie got married, so I liked the second half of the story better. I also liked the comparisons to “Lilibet‘s” (Queen Elizabeth‘s) life and the little royal tidbits brought in that way. Cont in comments...

LibraryCin I thought it was amusing that all the women in Georgie‘s family had names that shortened into “male” names: Phil, Fred (she had an Aunt and Uncle Fred when her Aunt Fred married a Fred), Grand Dan… (ok, not quite all, but most) 2y

Queen Elizabeth II | Jennifer Zeiger

Damn — i am in my feels. I lived in England for a while and feel sadness about this news. She wasn‘t perfect (maybe far from it), but she was - BOSS till the end. I wish I could go for the funeral but I will Be content to live stream it. Share some of your favorite books about the Queen!! I need to add to my stack #queen #queenelizabeth #thecrown

KristiAhlers I too lived in England years ago and had an opportunity to see her (granted from a huge distance but still) and couldn‘t believe I had that chance to see her. She wasn‘t perfect because no one is but she was the epitome of strength! 2y

Queen Elizabeth I: A Life From Beginning to End | Hourly History

In light of the health situation of Queen Elizabeth, I recalled this moment from about 20 years ago in Vancouver @ a pre-season game about 20 years ago. #queenelizabeth

KristiAhlers I know. I‘m so sad about this. She‘s just one of those humans you think will always be part of your fabric and lexicon. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧 2y

Death at Sandringham House (Her Majesty Investigates #2) | C.C. Benison

pick

Jane Bee is a housemaid and part of the staff who travel with the Queen. It is the Christmas holiday and the Queen is residing at Sandringham Hall when a body is found at a post shooting luncheon. A body dressed as the Queen. Is it the animal rights activists or something else? Jane is asked to do some investigating that the Queen would not be able to do unnoticed. Really well written mystery. Lots of fun! September #doublespin book.

MrsK Read this when it first came out ❤️. Have you tried the Father Christmas series? 2y

myellenbee #MrsKinvestigates I have not read the Father Christmas books, but I like her writing and will add them to my tbr. 2y

julesG Your #2 is interesting. What qualifies as high quality dihydrogenoxide? 5y

monalyisha @julesG I think it‘s a quote from The Waterboy with Adam Sandler! 😆 Great/wonderfully stupid movie (also starring The Fonz and wild & witchy Fairuza Balk). 😉 5y

julesG @monalyisha Aaaah! Didn't come across in the translated/dubbed version. I should definitely re-watch some of the "classics" in the OV 5y

TaylorMay @julesG @monalyisha is right! It is from The Waterboy lol. But usually nothing can beat some fresh ice water. 5y

julesG H2O is the best 5y

Remembering the Bones: A Novel | Frances Itani

Bones sinking like stones
All that we've fought for
Homes, places we've grown
All of us are done for🎶

Georgina, helpless and injured when her car fell into a ravine, tried to distract her desperation by reciting all the bones in the body...

My Kingdom for a Horse: The War of the Roses | Ed West

Not all that surprising. There is actually part of the royal family website that will tell you the exact relation between Queen Elizabeth and all of Shakespeare‘s Kings. No lie. Richard II is her some large number cousin. This is legit.
