We're all enjoying a quiet morning of reading before I have to get ready for work. Almost finished with this #historicalfiction that I read for my LIS course this week.

The Serpent Queen series. Minnie Driver played Elizabeth 1. She did an excellent job. She was the best character.

pickAfter my trip to Italy I wanted to learn more about this family.
pickSerendipity lead me to this novel at the Library, it‘s been around for a while. I do enjoy a good historical mystery, and this generally fits the bill, although the historical premise is a bit shaky. Wilson posits a fictional reason for the disappearance of Hans Holbein in 1543 that involves the (factual) Prebendaries Plot to bring down Thomas Cranmer and restore Catholic rule. I enjoyed “meeting” his protagonist, London goldsmith Thomas Treviot.

Finished Andrew Marvell & Wanderers
Started The Medici Murders (on audio, narrated by Richard Armitage 😍), A Passage to India & The Paper Chase.
pickThis was good, although I have to keep reading more about French history—I‘m not as familiar with it as I am with English and Scottish history, so it‘s harder to keep track of all the Henris and Louis and it makes my reading slower.
