My Lady Jane
My Lady Jane | Jodi Meadows, Brodi Ashton, Cynthia Hand
The comical, fantastical, romantical, (not) entirely true story of Lady Jane Grey. In My Lady Jane, coauthors Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows have created a one-of-a-kind fantasy in the tradition of The Princess Bride, featuring a reluctant king, an even more reluctant queen, a noble steed, and only a passing resemblance to actual historybecause sometimes history needs a little help.At sixteen, Lady Jane Grey is about to be married off to a stranger and caught up in a conspiracy to rob her cousin, King Edward, of his throne. But those trifling problems arent for Jane to worry about. Jane gets to be Queen of England.Like that could go wrong.

I‘m trying to read more from books I already own this year. Not sure how that‘s working out as I keep getting more from op shops. I just feel better if I have options. However this one I had picked up about a year ago at least and oh boy! It was brilliant. It is bonkers. Really quite silly. But I really loved it. English monarchy that can also shapeshift? Yes. It makes fun of itself too which is just lovely. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

And most of all, she loved the way books could transport her from her otherwise mundane and stifling life and offer the experiences of a hundred other lives.

Going in, I thought this was going to be a realistic fiction book about Lady Jane Grey. Boy was I wrong. It was so much better than that. I had no idea it was possible to have a fantasy book with dark tone AND non twisted humor. Excellent read. 5🌟

This book was so much fun! I‘m a sucker for historical fiction (especially Tudor England), and I love fantasy, so when you mix the two together with a bit of romance and a healthy helping of snark, you have a book that was designed to steal my heart ❤️

Alternative historical whimsical book. It was just pure silly and an unexpected treasure! The banter between Jane and G was hilarious. The narration of the book was also fun cutting in to explain why they twisted something and to apologize to the British people for butchering their history.

Mskt6891 Not really sure how I feel about the concept for this book. The real story of Lady Jane Grey is harrowing 2y

This was a blast! Highly recommend the audio. The writing is super snarky & the narrator brings that through incredibly well. The plot is imaginative & moves super fast, with a lot of action & commentary that had me snorting from laughing so hard. I breezed right through & didn't want to put it down. A blend of historical fiction (with large liberties taken) & fantasy, there was so much to love. Two thumbs up with a very high recommendation!!

This book is so fun. It's an alternate history of Lady Jane Grey who barely makes it into the history books (she was queen for a hot second between Edward and Mary). The #audiobook is really well done. It's very funny and I liked how it was written. And because it's fantasy, all of the characters have animal forms because why not?

• Continuing my TBR project:
This is one of the oldest selections on my TBR list - Originally added January 12, 2018.

Lady Jane Grey's nine days as queen (true story) are reimagined as a tongue-in-cheek, shape-shifter, YA romance. Lady Jane is sixteen-years-old and about to be married to a total stranger—and caught up in an insidious plot to rob her cousin, King Edward, of his throne. 5-stars

Enjoying a rare snow day in Texas ❄️☃️ I absolutely love My Lady Jane❤️ I was familiar with the story of the ill fated 9 day queen and as I read and fell in love with Edward, Jane G and all the rest I couldn‘t wait to see how the authors rewrote history to give them happy endings. This book really help escape some of the depressing insanity of the week 🙂

I knew that this book was funny & changed history around, but I must not have read all the synopsis because the shapeshifting was unexpected. I‘m impressed that 3 authors wrote this with a consistent style. I loved the characters & very quickly rooted for them. Definitely gave me Princess Bride vibes & loved all the subtle quotes from movies/authors. An adventure, fantasy, comedy, & love story—much better than the real history. #wintergames2020

I had read the second book in this series already, but since they aren't connected really other than having the same authors and a m.c. named Jane, it didn't matter. I liked Plain Jane, but I loved this one. I definitely enjoyed the story more, but Katherine Kellgren read this one brilliantly. I think she may be my new favorite narrator.

I realized as we were getting ready for silent reading time at school yesterday that I had forgotten my physical book. No worries, I‘ve been wanting to read this book that magically showed up in my classroom over the summer. I don‘t need to add more to my #currentlyreading list, but it is what it is, and this should be a fun read to keep on my desk. The real question is how long until I can‘t resist taking it home?

I mean....at least they apologized in advance 🤦‍♀️

If you're looking for a historically accurate Lady Jane Grey retelling - get a different book.

This was....something else. Highly entertaining for sure but the whole shapeshifter magic aspect just isn't something I enjoy. I also found a lot of the book to be pretty awkward and just...strange. It's not horrible but definitely did not live up to the reviews I've read 🤷‍♀️

MsMelissa I read a few chapters of this one and promptly set it aside. I always intended to go back to it, but never have. Your review makes me think I should just admit that the book isn‘t for me, and that it needs a new home. 4y

I wish I remembered who recommended this to me. Without that recommendation, I would have missed a heck of a romp—just what the doctor ordered. My Lady Jane is an alternate history take on Lady Jane Grey's story (including cousin King Edward VI and his sister Queen Elizabeth I), injected with shapeshifters and a bunch of humor. The silly quotient isn't terribly unlike The Princess Bride (well, maybe a little sillier). Anyway, good fun!

So I started reading this maybe six months ago and put it down because it felt silly. Then, a few weeks ago, in a desperate attempt to get out of a terrible long reading slump, I picked it up again and magic happened.

Yes, it's a bit silly, but delightfully so. It's a completely alternate Tudor history where a conflict between magical haves and have nots replaces the Protestant-Catholic religious conflicts. If you're in the right mood, it's great

Nute I‘ve had that happen to me on many occasions...a book was not agreeable and almost bypassed, but then a second go a while later breathed new magical life into it and it almost makes the ‘favorites‘ list. Go figure?!😆 4y

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Alternate history + British royalty + shapeshifters + humor. Okaaay? This is one of those books I didn‘t know I needed. I‘d have never chosen this on my own, but after listening to Well-Read Pod‘s audiobook narrators episode, where my fellow Nashville Litten and trusted friend, gushed about Kellgren‘s PHENOMENAL performance, well, it seemed like a no-brainer. So fun!

PS. You are greatly missed, Katherine Kellgren. Such a loss.

This wasn‘t bad, but certainly wasn‘t as good as I expected based on reviews. It was outlandish and young- very young. The YA I read doesn‘t read young- this is the YA that gives the genre an eye rolling bad name. The book wasn‘t horrid, but not what I was looking for. #historicalhussies #lmpbc #wintergames #tbrread
