Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m currently listening to this….and honestly I thought that Margaret Beaufort was cray cray….nope her son definitely has her beat. Also this installment in the series is very good. I can‘t wait to listen to the next one. #books #series #tudors #historicalfiction

I love this book!!! I love historical fiction so much!!! This book is based on Anne Neville's life. She was the wife of Richard III. It was an interesting read 4/5 stars!!

A compelling work of fiction, even though I really don‘t think much of this story is true. The idea that Henry VII spent so much time fearful and paranoid is new to me, and I don‘t buy it the way it is presented here. Still, I loved Elizabeth of York and the way Ms Gregory portrayed her. She was caught in the middle of her York family and her husband‘s family, the Tudors. And I really felt compassion for the difficult choices she had to make.

#currentlyreading while working on dinner: tacos 🌮 and enchiladas!! This book is about Elizabeth of York, daughter of Elizabeth Woodville and Edward IV, and her marriage to Henry VII.

Impossible to know if this story bears any resemblance to Queen Anne Neville‘s real life because hers was so poorly documented. But I‘m fascinated by what Ms Gregory did with her depiction of Richard III who I‘ve always thought of as terrible. He isn‘t terrible at all in this book. Interesting the way Ms Gregory portrayed Elizabeth Woodville (The White Queen) as disliked and feared in this account. I‘ve always known her as well-liked. Great book.

The two books I‘m #currentlyreading. I‘m about 3 chapters into #natashalester‘s #therivierahouse, and I‘m in love. #philippagregory‘s #thekingmakersdaughter is also very interesting.

#currentlyreading about Anne Neville, who eventually marries Richard III and becomes Queen. This is the third in a trilogy-within-a-series about The War of the Roses and I‘m surprised to say that so far I like it more than the previous two books. I knew almost nothing about Anne going into this book and I know that much of this is fiction, but I‘m still learning a lot.

Really enjoying this series and the perspectives of the women involved during this volatile time in history. This novel is told by Anne Neville, eventual wife of King Richard III, and I was once again caught up in the royal world of jealousy, betrayal, tragedy, and battles for the throne. Though not a very well-documented Queen, Gregory brings her to life and also gives a kinder interpretation of the historically villainous King Richard III. 4⭐️
