pickI enjoyed reading this book. I learned many historical facts that I would not have known otherwise and, although sounding cliche, it read much like a novel. She focused more heavily on Henry VIII; it seemed that she was crowding Elizabeth I into the end. Now, I definitely must read separate books about both of them, more books about these dynasties and visit the castles in England. I am intrigued by Elizabeth; really a “virgin”? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Kings and Emperors, all be but men, all be but mortal...All the rich apparel that can be devised, can not take from them the condition of mortality."
Well, Henry VIII just died...Loving this book, My People!
I think I will read this book this weekend. Its my own form of reality TV which I enjoy so much better these days.
pickAll in all, a good book about the Tudors. My favorite to read about was Queen Elizabeth - the Virgin Queen.
All of a sudden, I feel the need to use the word "hobnob" in a sentence. Oh as it. I just did. ?
I guess I am glad that I am not Queen! Good grief!!! I know the book is about the Tudors' private lives, but man!
pickI am endlessly fascinated with the Tudors so most of the material in this book was not new to me, but there are some great nitty-gritty details about life in the palace.
Yes. There was a person that took care of that, er, matter. 😳 💩 😷
This will be my first book of 2017. Why? Because I love this period of history but mainly because it's my oldest NetGalley book. 😬#NetGalley
