Isn‘t it fun to have bedtime reading that makes you extra excited to go to bed?
I‘m enjoying this immensely! And how different it would progress in the age of cellphones and internet. Instead of slowing ruminating on King Richard III, getting details bit by bit, all the information would be at Grant‘s fingers with a little googling. I‘m so glad that isn‘t the case 😄

Fascinating nonfiction about the lives of Duchess Jacquetta, Elizabeth Woodville, and Margaret Beauford. Each of these women, Philippa Gregory has written novels about: The Rivers Women, the White Queen, and the Red Queen, respectively.
so-soThis is the fourth and final book in the series. Wars of the Roses sure were crazy times. I've randomly known about many of the events, like the princes in the Tower, but never knew how they all tied together. There were a lot of characters with similar names like Henry or Edward and I was sometimes really confused. The book was good in places and boring in others. I'm actually really happy I persevered with it and was able to finish the series.

I enjoyed this. It wasn't entirely true to the facts. But I like history and it was an easy and fast read. Was a bit disgusted with the way women were treated back then. Also how it was all about power. And then those two little boys living all alone in The tower. It makes me wonder if children were mature at a younger age than they're now.
