I've not watched the TV series, but I do love reading about women of history and their lives. I'm especially enjoying this section on Queen Victoria's love of reading and her library. And I love the illustration on the book of The Moonstone! It's one of my favorite classic reads. 😊

I finished this one today. It is a fun companion to the show. Some history, quotes from letters of the key players, and info on the making of the show. This one is really only for fans of the show. If I were not a fan I would find it lacking in historical detail and highly repetitive. It felt as if it was written in chunks and then not edited to remove repeating information. I enjoyed it though.

AmyG I like the show so mich more than the books. 6y
MicrobeMom @Amy Agreed! Just love Albert! 6y

Today was a minor win. Crazy day at work. Then straight to my daughter‘s dance rehearsal. Finally off to mother son bowling night with school. Thank god for audio books, or I would not have had my daily book fix. #audiobooks #thankful

Really enjoyed listening to this book. Interesting facts and context for the TV show. There were a few repetitions that I noticed but they didn‘t detract too much from the story. Completed book 2 for #24in48. Not going to make it to the full 24 hours but enjoying all the reading time nonetheless.

Took a long break and am now back at it. Spent a little time updating my #24in48 reading log and now enjoying this audiobook while getting some knitting in. I love learning more about Queen Victoria and the accuracies (and inaccuracies) of the show. 👸🏻

Godmotherx5 What are you making? Looks cozy. 6y
Yamich49 @Godmotherx5 It‘s a sweater! I had it almost halfway done then had to restart because it was way too big. 🙄 6y
Godmotherx5 I‘m learning socks right now. Knitting a sweater intimates me. I‘m impressed with your effort. 6y

Didn't know the Victorians invented so much of every day stuff that is still around today.
