A Dangerous Inheritance: A Novel of Tudor Rivals and the Secret of the Tower | Alison Weir

pick

While Lady Jane Grey is one of my favorites, it never connected for me that her sister, Lady Katherine Grey, was next in line after Elizabeth 1. Richard 3 is another of my favorites, but I knew next to nothing about Katherine Plantagenet, his daughter. Plus, the Princes in the Tower story was weaved throughout the book. An enjoyable read for the History Geek that I am.

This book is about people who were put in #danger by having a claim to the throne. I‘ve read some of Weir‘s nonfiction but I still need to read this fiction work. #ReallyRandomFebruary

HELP! I'm looking for a book to give my mother-in-law for xmas. She's obsessed with all things Tudors, but mainly consumes film/tv about them since she isn't a big reader. I think she likes the idea of reading, but has trouble committing. Does anyone know of a fast-paced Tudor period historical fic that is on the shorter side? Thx! šˇ„š“ā¯¤

marleed The Phillipa Gregory books are on the longer side but maybe she‘d have fun reading a book that had been adapted to film. She might decide the book is better :) 5y

Librarybelle I second the Phillipa Gregory. My favorite is The Last Tudors; since she focuses on each Grey sister, the novel is broken into 3 parts, so it‘s smallish consumption of sorts. 5y

ShyBookOwl @marleed good point. Thx! 5y

ShyBookOwl @Librarybelle oh that's good to know! She can approach it as 3 novels in one. Thx! 5y

That time of year - I‘ve made it my goal to finish at least 10 books I‘ve started but not finished that I WANT to finish. I am easily distracted! #tbrDestruction #finishIt #momUsedToYellAtMeForThis

We're on vacation, so sadly I won't be participating in #litsypartyofone š• but I have a question I've been meaning to ask you Littens: Who is an author(s) that you have read literally every single thing they've written?!? I have two and they're vastly different, Allen Ginsberg and Liane Moriarty. My two dark sides coming out š™

LeahBergen Let me think ... I've read all of Sarah Waters' books. I'm a bit weird in that I always like to leave a couple of book unread by my absolute favourite authors... then I always have something to look forward to. š‚ 8y

MeganAnn Laurell K. Hamilton! I found her books when I first started college and have religiously bought every single books she's written since... Even though her last was disappointing.

Sweettartlaura I have never been book shopping apres cocktails. It sounds divineš¨ 8y

Cinfhen Best idea š’� 8y

Elisa I only have The Captive Queen ā€” it was very good. Might be time for a re-read! 8y

TrishB I've only done on-line tipsy book buying! Which is usually a shock when you look at your phone the next morning š‚š‚ 8y

BookishFeminist š‚ drunk book shopping is always a great idea 8y

MicheleinPhilly @TrishB SAME! And then when I get the email saying, "Your order has shipped" and I'm like, "Order? What order?" ? 8y

monkeygirlsmama There is never a bad time to buy books! Unless you get home and find the next day that instead of buying every Weir book you actually bought every Kama Sutra book. That might be a bit redundant, even with all those positions. š¤£š‡š¤£š‡š¤£ 8y

Yournewfriendsams @MicheleinPhilly @TrishB around Christmas I woke up with the lap top in bed hahaha I was like oh shit!! The night before, I had ordered a custom sweatshirt for my husband with his highschool track team logo on it š« haha at least he thought it was hilarious....I swear, I don't drink often, I'm just a shopper at heart!! 8y

Yournewfriendsams @monkeygirlsmama very good point!!! 8y

TrishB @Yournewfriendsams @MicheleinPhilly I did it with concert tickets once sitting watching Glastonbury, said they were on tour, brought tickets on phone....got up next morning and there was the email notification....phones make it way too easy, don't even have to get off the couch š€ 8y
