The Confessions of Catherine de Medici: A Novel | 
pick483 pages. Biography of the all time famous queen who, by many claims, poisoned her enemies. The book allows to see the world from her perspective and join the royal family in probably the most terrifying times in history of France. However, the book is not historically accurate, the author admits it himself. Definitely a pick for an easy read.

Ohhhh these were totally worth breaking my book buying ban for! 👏 I can‘t wait to read them. 😯
1. Always. Ebook, audio, and dead tree.
2. Sometimes. Most of my books come through overdrive, though.
3. Always! But I might renew them a few thousand times first. 🙄
4. Never! Though I do like highlighting in textbooks, if I own them.
5. Frequently.
Starting a new audio book. I used to live in Florence and now I have a slight obsession with the Medici.
so-soI've read a lot of Medici history. Half my humans are from Florence after all. This book has some interesting points to make, but in parts it was drier than dipping bread without the grappa.
bailedAfter reading The Last Queen, I was so caught up with Gortner's writing- I could not put the book down! However I can not say the same for this book. Just a little over halfway& reading it is like having teeth pulled. Some parts are interesting, but overall I have been forcing myself to make progress in a book that is very slow. I'm very disappointed - Catherine De Medici is a very interesting figure, but his portrayal is vague &seems off. ⭐️⭐️/5
Caved and bought these through Amazon instead of getting a much needed haircut. While I have been greatly anticipating TRQ, still currently working through TSWHVIII/ nonfiction. Suggestions of any other good Catherine De Medici Fiction/ non fiction? Just let me know! Working through my Medieval and Renaissance influential men and women.
