Today‘s Prompt: POWERFUL
It is 1492 and we meet Rodrigo Borgia - Pope Alexander VI who has four children and a mistress.
The children must do what their father says so the Borgia family can become more "powerful."
It seems that there was a lot of greed, scheming, murders at their whim, and other sins to confess. :) 4/5

so-soI didn't enjoy it as much as Palombo's The Most Beautiful Woman in Florence and The Violinist of Venice. I think it was because of all the sordid details of the Church. Yet, I want to learn more about them. Set in Vatican City #ReadingEurope2020 @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB 38/50 #WinterGames2020 #ReadNosedReindeer @StayCurious 16 pts
God, but we were like a family of spiders, weaving our webs and entangling one another and devouring each other without a care.
pick#bookreview ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This one had a slow start for me but picked up a little over a quarter of the way through I‘d say. Not my favorite topic but the characters were intriguing. Started out as a two star but ended with a strong four star, although I didn‘t love the ending.
Received my first Unplugged box- books with self care, the adult box! I love it so much!!!

Thanks #netgalley and @StMartinsPress for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I've always been fascinated by the Borgias. The author writes from the POV of Cesare and a fictional servant girl Maddelina. It is fiction, but lots of factual history included.
Pope Alexander had just ascended the papacy, and he has plans to create a dynasty through his 4 children. ⬇️

Ms. Palombo did extensive, amazing research for THE BORGIA CONFESSIONS and gave us a detailed account of the activities at this time. What a wonderful history lesson with information that was new to me.
