pickI don‘t know if this royal mystery is “solved” but this book puts together an interesting case. I am not an expert so mostly it just made me want to read The Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey again.

pickAfter a day out to Bosworth last week, just a bit of a R3 story. Enjoyable, if a bit romanticised.

Isn‘t it fun to have bedtime reading that makes you extra excited to go to bed?
I‘m enjoying this immensely! And how different it would progress in the age of cellphones and internet. Instead of slowing ruminating on King Richard III, getting details bit by bit, all the information would be at Grant‘s fingers with a little googling. I‘m so glad that isn‘t the case 😄
As much as I enjoy reading Shakespeare, his plays are always better live. Excited to see this one on stage for the first time!
pickI enjoyed reading this book. I find this time period interesting. This is the second book book completed for #JoyousJanuary readathon hosted by @Andrew65. I rated this book a 4 out of 5 stars.
September 10 #IdiumInsights. BreakALeg one of the reasons this saying may have come to light was when David Garrick actually broke his leg when he was performing Richard 111 and continued to act 🎬 until the play was finished. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

I enjoyed this. It wasn't entirely true to the facts. But I like history and it was an easy and fast read. Was a bit disgusted with the way women were treated back then. Also how it was all about power. And then those two little boys living all alone in The tower. It makes me wonder if children were mature at a younger age than they're now.

so-so(1974) Second in Peters's series of mysteries featuring librarian Jacqueline Kirby. In this one Kirby attends a meeting of cosplaying "Ricardians": scholars and history buffs interested in correcting the reputation of King Richard III. Someone takes the game too seriously, staging non-fatal but disturbing "accidents" based on murders attributed to King Dick. It's fun and I love Kirby, but the premise is too precious to make it a favorite
