Welcome to Litsy!

Nice short book of princesses through the ages. It Nicole compiles just enough story to get the main points of their life brith to death and why they are remembered the way they are. From the insanely rich, to the considered insane. As many who went against the status quo were. Some stories made me want more, which is the intended closure point. Added realism; Not often a happy ending

Badass & unconventional princesses throughout history. Not a lot happily ever afters here.

So, although I don't like short stories this was different beds it was historical short stories which I really enjoyed :) Also this gives me 2 #BookSpinBingo s! @TheAromaOfBooks #TBRread

I am tackling this book tonight. I have a couple more stories to read before I am done (and it would give me 2 #BookSpinBingos)

@TheAromaOfBooks

Started this one last night. When I bought it (a while back) I was inspired to learn/read more about badass women in history! It is not disappointing! These women are amazing! (Also it will help me get a bing for #BookSpinBingo)

The idea of this book is awesome! Reading about women who were not your typical princess was so inspiring besides that fact that they were crazy, selfish, or adulterers, they did things their way!

There were alot of stories and most if them very pretty entertaining. I would not say it was a great book. As they say, "Well behaved women rarely make history." And this book is proof.

I needed a book to finish #nonfiction2019 and this one practically jumped off my library shelf on my last visit. Detailing the lives of princesses /well standing women throughout history who refused to succomb to societal expectations, this book gives a more realistic view of the fairytale.

Well the procrastination was real but I finally finished the whole board! Woohoo!! My final space was "something with history" and I read Princesses Behaving Badly for it.

Went with a little fun non-fiction this time. It was a fun little book and taught me a lot about princesses I didn't even know existed and some new facts about those that I did know. #audiobook #scribd #historicalnonfiction #princess #royalty

A collection of mini-biographies of (mostly) princesses that attempts to separate fact from the mythology that surrounds many of these historical figures.

3. Enough to keep me reading for years, even if I didnt buy more books, which I often do.

5. Princesses Behaving Badly. Historical princesses without the fairy tale endings.

This is a fun little book about princesses who are heroic, brutal, insane, transgressive, and brave.

I really enjoyed this fun and entertaining book full of badass princesses and rebels. The audio was great.

Felt this was relevent in light of this week's events.

Visited an iconic bookstore today... I‘m sensing a theme among my purchases... 👑💪🏼

After visiting several library branches and my holds coming in, this is my nightstand currently. 😳 This doesn‘t include the audiobooks on my phone or library books on my Kindle. #somanybookssolittletime #ilovelibraries #imaddicted #atleastitsnottoheroin

Enjoyed some sunshine and badass princesses

Can‘t wait to read this gem! It looks amazing and doesn‘t include the regular fabulous lady list of RGB, Nefertiti, Jane Goodall, etc. These are pirate queens and rebels you don‘t normally hear about. ❤️👏🏻

Entertaining and informative. Worth the read. Review on my blog: oddandbookish.wordpress.com

This book was chocked full of stories. So so many. Some were given a little more time then others. I liked some, usually the ones with more details. Still, it was cool to hear about so many women across the world and the last few hundred years.

If you like serious history with lots of facts and endnotes, this book is not for you. Interesting tidbits in short, easy to read sections of biographies about all kinds of princesses in our history including the crazy, the sad, and the really badass. Great read for Women's History Month.

Novelist Jane Austen, writing in 1813 about Caroline, summed it up best: "Poor woman, I shall support her as long as I can because she is a woman and because I hate her husband."

I want one. 🤓

The title "princess" can mean a lot of things -- it's all in how you use it.

Yeeeesssss! 💪👸💪

Look at this badass mama!

I mean, how gorgeous is this cover? 😍 Starting this one in honor of Women's History Month.

It‘s definitely looking more like fall on my afternoon walks since harvest is wrapping up around here.

This is a really interesting book of short biographies about princesses remembered for their less than respectable behavior. There are several strong women with fascinating stories included.

I really enjoyed this book. It's about princesses throughout history and how they lived, died, became scandalous or famous. I was a little thrown by some of the princesses it spent more time on (based on myth or unsubstantiated stories) and which it spent less time on. Otherwise it was a great read for a quick overview of many princesses. #nonfiction #audiobook

Another book from my TBR for #badgirls. This ebook was on sale recently and I couldn't resist. #augustgrrrls

Really loving this book. Full of interesting women #booksaboutwomen #goals

#EvilWoman #RockinMay Princesses throughout the world and throughout history who didn't exactly lead a "respectable" life. Some were cruel, some were spies, some had really odd quirks. This was a fun read!

I just got this Kindle deal. Has anyone read it?

From ACOWAR to misbehaving princesses, I think I see a pattern here 😎

Just finished Princesses Behaving Badly by Linda Rodriguez McRobbie. It was so good. ❤️❤️❤️

Got some #bookmail I kinda forgot about (ordered a while ago). I had several of these on my wish list for a long time. (This is pre-clean-up. I'll post a better shot later).

Fascinating! Recommend to all the fairy tale lovers out there who also love history. ❤📚🐸

If you want a different take on #princesses and their happy endings, this is the book! Eccentric princesses, mad princesses, and warrior princesses are just among the many true stories of princesses in this book. I listened this on #audiobook and it was really #engaging and the #narration was awesome. #nonfiction #history #historyfan #historylover #quickread #goodread

McRobbie gives a witty, detailed view of historical women who had the power and weren't afraid to use it. Definitely not a kids' book - these princesses aren't Disney, and neither is history - but highly enjoyable for people who like the messier side of history.

3/3 #royals. The one I chose to feature here, Princesses Behaving Badly, is because it covers various princesses from all over the world, not just Europe; it's written in a fun style (think mental floss magazine style), and many of these princesses were really just strong bad-ass women who defied norms of the times and/or got bad reputations simply because they were pawns in a male-dominated world.

A romp through history with some of the world's most infamous royalty? Yes please! This book was so much fun. #whitequeen #bookishcrown #novemberland

#somethingforsept My best book of September is a highly entertaining non fiction on princesses behaving badly. With stories loosely grouped by nature of badness the stories of these women are absolutely fascinating!
