Finished this one recently— a quick read. What I like about Farquhar is that he is able to clearly summarize events that might take another author an entire book to do so for each event (if that makes sense).

Bookquilter I had a copy of this book in my car ( as my emergency read ) ... somewhere along the way it disappeared... 7y
LauraBrook Oh, I‘d forgotten about this one! I felt the same way you did, I appreciated the authors ability to cut to the chase, so to speak. 7y
ValerieAndBooks @AlaMich yes, the cover definitely jumps out 😂! 7y
ValerieAndBooks @Sydsavvy @mabell yes and so was this one I‘ve read by the same author (will keep my eyes open for his others) 7y
ValerieAndBooks @Bookquilter too bad it got lost! It‘s the perfect kind of book to pick up and read for a few minutes at a time. 7y
ValerieAndBooks @LauraBrook yes!! You said it better than I was able to 😊. 7y

Gossip typically isn't a good look for anyone but perhaps if the subjects are long dead...one might be excused. This is my roundup for #Royals for #LyricalApril

daf_fields Oh, man! I think I would enjoy this! 8y
daf_fields Is it anecdotal stories about British monarchs? 8y
Limonotte @daf_fields Yes it is! It's pretty entertaining. 8y
