Finished my millionth re-read of this book and as always it‘s so good... 🖤🖤

I was having a hard time reading three pieces of classic lit, so I needed something more recent to cleanse my palate. I replaced Anna Karenina with The Other Boleyn Girl!

The beheaded head is usually lifted out of a basket for the crowd to see.

Flight is delayed two hours so lots of reading and Wizards Unite for me!

I find it hard to believe that people didn‘t enjoy this book- it‘s like watching a historical soap opera

And the award for worst uncle EVER goes to Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk! (Godalmighty. . . )

I just finished reading/listening to this book. (Swapped back and forth as part of my new “get off my arse” program.) I‘m on a quest to get through these in a year and they are good enough that I just may make it. This one in particular was real page turner and Vanessa Kirby‘s performance was spectacular.

I finished this audiobook the other day and enjoyed it. Knowing a bit about Henry VIII & Anne Boleyn, the end wasn't a complete shock, but still enjoyable all the same. It's funny how so many people of the time had children just for political gain. I managed to find The Boleyn Inheritance on CD as well so I'll continue the series. I had to match up dates with that show Reign to compare people & events. ( So many nobles with same name. 🤯)

Lots of rumours flying about in this book.... even within the family nobody knows what‘s going on with the two Boleyn sisters and Henry VIII. And as for their brother George, what on earth is he up to?!

This book has been read so many times. I'm not sure why I keep coming back to it. I have so many new books to read and I'm already in the middle of re-reading a long series. 🖤

Thrift store goodie find! Should I reserve until I read the first two or does it matter??

Blimey this one was long. It could have been two books

Obviously a must read from @Momreviews It‘s got 100% likes on Litsy too. #momreviews

For King Henry VIII, it was so important to have a #pregnant wife, whose child would be a boy. When wife number one couldn‘t make that happen, Henry looked elsewhere. This historical fiction looks at Henry‘s rocky relationship with Anne (wife number two), through the eyes of her sister, Mary, who happened to be one of Henry‘s mistresses. #SeptemberDanes

Currently reading.

August 9: Books I‘ve read too many times (no such thing as too many 😜) also not pictured is The Night Circus hehe #readwithusAugust2018

Day 1 of #agameoffavorites
This is Phillippa Gregory. She is one of my favourite historical writers.
Her favourite fictional hero is Vidal from Georgette Heyer‘s The Devil‘s Club. One of her favourite books is The Glass Room by Simon Mawers. In an interview with the New York Times she stated “determining how I like to read is like determining how I like to breathe”
My favourite book of hers is tagged but I would love to read more!

Day 20| #heatofjuly #theboyismine

One of the great love triangles in history, Anne and Mary Boleyn duke it out for the affection of Henry. And although Henry was a king, he was nothing to lose your head over.

Before Anne with her desirable collection of #DiamondsAndPearls , another Boleyn wandered the halls of the castle and caught King Henry's eye... Her name was Mary. This is her story. How she became a court favorite, then quickly got cast aside when her family's ambition grew.

This book has been on my #tbr shelf for years because of its daunting size. I‘m so glad I finally read it; it was fascinating! #LitsyAtoZ #O✔️

My favourite way to spend a Sunday. #matchbooks

I got so excited I opened it at 2am! A big thanks to @BethM for the wonderful books and bookish items! I am so excited to read your favorite! #kingsandqueensswap #may28

It's on it's way from my favorite monarch! All my swaps get sent from someone other than "me." I was going to do the full on Elizabeth R or Elizabeth Regina but I wasn't sure how into history my match is :) #kingsandqueenswap

Henry VIII and #selfishlove seem to go together rather well. This is the first Gregory I read and one that details Henry‘s relationship with the Boleyn family, especially Mary and Anne. Told from Mary‘s perspective. #aprella

Found these two today for 1.00 each...Keep feeling like I may have read The Other Boleyn Girl but will see.....I‘m bad that way! I‘ve only ever read one other Sandra Brown.

#bookhaul: worked next to my favorite 2nd hand store to find books and found out that they give my organization a HUGE discount!! All this was $6!! RIP bank account (again).
I also had a random guy try to get me into his truck on my way out of the store but I SSDGM-ed the hell outta there!

Earlier today I finished "The Other Boleyn Girl." While I knew the story, I hadn't read this before. I loved it. Phillipa Gregory did an amazing job of putting me in King Henry VIII's court.

I will definitely be reading more of her historical fiction.

Thanks @Penguininflight , this one may be hard to top, but I look forward to the rest of your list!

I'm starting "The Thirteenth Tale" tonight!

1. 1200-1700 England
2. England
3. The Other Boleyn Girl

It‘s been a hard day for me today so before I picked the kids up I thought I would run in an treat myself to a book. They didn‘t have too much today but I did snag this and one other. Books always make me feel better❤️😍📚

I can't find my copy to post a picture for some reason... but I'll include a stock photo of the tagged book. It's my pick for #womeninhistory bc it's my favorite fictionalized story of a very real, interesting person. I've read it several times. #MagicalMarch I also actually enjoyed the movie too even though I can't stand either of the actresses in it

This one keeps catching my eye on my shelves so I think I‘ll be reading it soon! #royalty #riotgrams

Nothing screams #royalty more then the court of Henry VIII.

#riotgrams

So #Littens I need some help. I've been wanting to read a novel by Philippa Gregory for a while. But she just has sooo many books where does one even begin?? #Help #overwhelming

This was my first Philippa Gregory book. Totally worth it.

I love #HistoricalFiction It might be my favorite genre. But it‘s hard to say. I do have a thing for Philippa Gregory‘s Tudor books, though. #ReindeerReads

@Tiffy_Reads @JoeStalksBeck

I bought this before reading any reviews or anything much about it because I love reading/learning about this era but then after I bought it I heard a couple of bad things about it 😕 I watched the film not long ago though and enjoyed it so I‘ll definitely give it a go still #hatsandotherheadgear #uncannyoctober

This is an oldie but a goodie #richgirl book. This was one of the first books I read that was historical fiction and it kicked off my love for that genre as well as a fascination with the Tudors and other royalty of Great Britain. #augustgrrrl

Did ya'll read this? I've never read her. But man, there is some intense judging coming out of this article! 😜

Happy birthday @Liberty !!! Years ago my sister borrowed this book from me (one of my all time faves, I might add) and returned it to me beaten up and falling apart. I just about cried over it. She felt so badly she gave me a brand new one for my birthday that year. So I finally forgave her :) #liberthday

Baseball + a book + #Zeke = a good afternoon
#catsoflitsy

If you have a longing to read historical novels, then read an author who knows their craft, their history... I'm a lover of historical fiction and give me the Tudors and I'm in my element...sublime brilliance 👌💕

The original #QueenBee? Perhaps! #characters2016 #day14

Anne Boleyn is my favourite wife of Henry VIII. I had to get her doll in London! Also Philippa Gregory‘s books are so amazing!! My collection of her historical fiction is growing! #canteven
