Welcome to Litsy!

I had to bail it after I went to another two chapters. This is definitely not a good book for an audiobook. I could not follow half of the thoughts because a zillion of names have been mentioned. I am pretty sure in ghe printed version there‘s a deawing of a family tree or something, but to follow the branches of a family without the possibility to see it does not work. And then this weird computerized voice. Not my thing. 🤦‍♀️

This ebook sounded very interesting but the recording sounds like an automatic computer reading out the text. I am not sure if I will be able to listen to it for another 15 hours even though I am really interested in the topic. It is just too difficult to listen to. 🙈

Catherine Howard has been portrayed as a #dramaqueen in history…youthful, flamboyant, a massive flirt, and supposedly “broke” Henry VIII‘s heart with her affairs. Also, she‘s a distant relation to Anne Boleyn.

The tagged book has been on my tbr, and it‘s about time to read it!

Confession: I love Matchbox Twenty - talk about ‘90s alt music. She‘s So Mean is from about 10 years ago. Definite drama queen. The video is a riot. #TitlesAndTunes

Two thoughts:

I'm genuinely impressed that Gareth Russell managed to squeeze 650 pages out of a not-that-interesting woman who died while she was still in her teens.

I cannot get over the sheer number of people whose lives were ruined because a flighty teenager got bored with her middle-aged husband and started a flirtmance with an ex-boyfriend.

What should have been an interesting story reads more like a textbook IMO - dry and to the point with lack of emotion so dissatisfied and with that I‘m on to the next book .. hopefully adventure awaits 😃

Oh dear sir.. so far it‘s a bit dull but I will trudge through a bit more and see how it goes

Mail call!! Another book has arrived!! My tbr list grows!!

• Reached 8 hrs in the audiobook and I'm beat. The whole time I've been reading/listening to this book, my brain has gotten so clogged with details and facts that I have had to rewind and reread several large sections, sometimes more than once. It's kind of ridiculous, really. The book is so interesting but so dense at times. Anyone else feel this way about it? •
