bailedI'm giving up on the goal of reading all 19 of these already on book 2 😂 There are just so many Georges and Edwards and Elizabeths, I cannot keep them all straight and it is just so boring, I am out.
pickOn a lark I've decided to read all 19 of the Plantagenet and Tudor novel series. This first one is a pretty soft pick for me, the characters don't resonate well and the plot confusing (they're in France, they're in England, they're back in France who can even keep up or care) but it did feature tarot cards and common witchery so that redeems it somewhat.
The Morbid podcast I listened to earlier about, "The Princes in the Tower," was all I needed as a reminder to dive back into this #historicalfiction series. This book essentially picks up right where I need. The White Queen is the mother of those two missing *cough* [murdered] princes.

pickAfter a day out to Bosworth last week, just a bit of a R3 story. Enjoyable, if a bit romanticised.

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.
