Loved rereading these with the Shardlakians and the #ShardlakeBR. Tudor history + a superb detective = excellent series! 🤩
@dabbe Thank you very much for this package, even though I feel slightly guilty as I haven't got round to reading the tagged & subsequent ones yet!
I do have extra motivation to read them now, however, as I've decided I need background information from the Reformation onwards to help with my creative writing project (even if it's going to be taking place nearly a century later 🤣😃)!
pickThis novelisation of her life follows Katheryn from the age of seven to her death aged around 20 or 21.
The trouble with reading novels about historical characters is that you know what has to happen however much you don't want it to. Many times I wished Katheryn would make different choices but often in this book she is portrayed as knowing what not to do and yet going ahead and doing it anyway. Sad.

pickThis is a very interesting non-fictional overview over Anne‘s life. Because I only watched the different semi-ficituonal series about Henry VIII‘s life, I never realized it took Anne eight years to be married ti the king. On TV it always happens in a shorter amount of time. And in the end she was only married to hin for three years. Seems like the moment he actually had her, he lost interest.
pickVery good. Fictionalised biography of Henry VIII. Well written and full of detail.
