It's hard to read about Jane Grey and Mary I without thinking wistfully about what Hilary Mantel might have done with this material.

I just got done reading this book and it was very interesting take on Henry VIII's children and his great niece. It went in depth of each of the children and what happened during their reigns of England. I rated the book a 4 out of 5 stars.
Another book with a love/hate relationship. I loved YOUNG BESS the first book in this trilogy, it was a five-star read, I loved everything about it. Now this book, there was such a lack of focus on Elizabeth and the secondary characters seemed flat, uninteresting, I just could not connect with any of them. But I did enjoy the author's writing. I love her descriptive style and the way she recreated Tudor London.

Hey we finally found some books that I got myself. As far as I remember these all came from various book sales.
Have you read any? What did you think? Anything I should try to get to sooner rather than later?
