I started listening to the tagged book on my walk to say hello to the strawberry super moon tonight 🌝 I am reading it for my #booked2022 #aboutarealorfictionalroyal prompt. In a way this book is both! It‘s not my normal thing but I‘m actually enjoying it more then expected so far.
A big ol‘ book about the most famous family in the world…? Is that accurate or would it be the Kardashians?! 😆
Anyhoo, I was entertained and if you have a royal fascination like me, read it!

A fascinating look at twelfth century politics in England, culminating in the White Ship disaster that completely changed the trajectory of the Royal dynasty at the time. Fair warning, though: there are so many Henry‘s and William‘s and Matilda‘s that, unless you‘re well-versed in this history, it could get a tad confusing. But, this is also a time of upheaval, and Spencer lays it out well. Great history! #Booked2022 #AboutARealOrFictionalRoyal

A murder takes place in Windsor Castle and Queen Elizabeth is determined to find the perpetrator with the help of her aide Rozie. This was an enjoyable cozy with a great audiobook narrator. I think I've added another series to my TBR list. #MarvellousMarch #Booked2021 #AboutARealOrFictionalRoyal @Andrew65 @Cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft @BarbaraTheBibliophage
Part of the Castle Glower series. A griffin is born in the tower and the castle unveils the secrets it has been holding for so long.
This one ends on a cliffhanger, so it's a good thing I have the next book on hand.

Everything we know about Cleopatra is as it relates to the men in her life. Schiff has done a good job of going through the surviving documents to put together a portrait of a woman that is more than just a sexual temptress. We learn how this Macedonian woman came to rule such a wealthy kingdom and that Egypt was very strong under her rule, but we never truly understand the true motivations behind her actions.
