Welcome to Litsy!

This was fabulous! I love the Masterpiece series, so it‘s no surprise that I loved it, I suppose, but it is beautiful and very well done. #bookreview #history

Victoria is my newest bookish obsession!

Happy birthday to Queen Victoria!

I love the way Daisy Goodwin writes and how she pulls you into that time period

Sadly I haven't met them. If I met Claire Foy or Jenna Coleman I would most likely bow haha

This book comes up under a different title than the copy I have. But I'm sure it's still full of #insightful things. #yesvember27

Ok I‘m finishing up this book during #LitsyPartyofOne and I just came across the most bizarre discrepancy. The author says that Victoria, Princess Royal was born at 2 am on November 21, 1840. But literally 3 pages later, it has this page from Queen Victoria‘s journal which clearly states the Princess was born at 2 in the afternoon on Nov 21. And there‘s no asterisk saying Victoria was mistaken or anything. How could an editor miss that???

I chose this book as my pick for the #LetterV challenge in #LitsyAtoZ, but I needed to finish Season 1. I‘d watched the first 2 episodes on PBS, but got too busy with school. So I got the DVD at work and watched all 8 eps in 3 days. I then got the book, which I will finish during #NonfictionNovember. Of course, bingeing Victoria made me get back into TV so I watched 4 episodes of Season 3 of Kimmy Schmidt last night instead of doing any reading...

I love the disney infinity figures. I don't use them on the game, I just collect them. These are the ones I have so far. I think the Jack Skellington one is my favourite. I have Alice from Alice in wonderland and also Mulan but they would fit in the picture 😂

I've still to read The Victoria Letters but I hope to get to it before the new series comes out.

How is everyone?

Jenna Coleman as Victoria and Queen Victoria herself.
Jenna plays Victoria really well in my opinion.

Queen Victoria did #ruletheworld, or quite a bit of it, anyway. #junetunz

I tried to write facts about Queen Victoria in Korean. Pretty sure most of this is wrong but hey I tried. I know my handwriting sucks.
My head hurts.

Since I finished this in November. I still look through it and read some of her diary entries. Such a beautiful book.

I'm starting to see a pattern here.

This is such an interesting book and beautiful book.
I didn't know much about Queen Victoria when I picked this up but I'm glad I did.
Even though most of the pictures are from the new ITV show (which is also really good) it's still really pretty and is full of information.
