madcow Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Ok thanks babes, i've added it to my 'To Read' list. Quote
Lilywhite Posted December 17, 2006 Author Posted December 17, 2006 I finished The Hogfather today and absolutley loved it. Great story I've started The Italian Woman ~ Jean PLaidy which is the second in the Medici Trilogy I started the other day. When Catherine de' Medici was forced to marry Henry of Orleans, her's was not the only heart broken. Jeanne of Navarre once dreamed of marrying this same prince, but like Catherine, she must bend to the will of King Francis's political needs. And so both Catherine and Jeanne's lives are set on unwanted paths, destined to cross in affairs of state, love and faith, driving them to become deadly political rivals. Years later, Jeanne is happily married to the dashing but politically inept Antoine de Bourbon, whilst the widowed Catherine continues to be loved by few and feared by many - including her children. But she is now the powerful mother of kings, who will do anything to see her beloved second son, Henry, rule France. As civil war ravages the country and Jeanne fights for the Huguenot cause, Catherine advances along her unholy road, making enemies at every turn... Quote
madcow Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 Another one for the 'To Read' list...... Quote
Lilywhite Posted December 26, 2006 Author Posted December 26, 2006 Finally managed to finish this one. Another great story by Jean Plaidy and I'm very interested in the main character Catherine DeMedici. It's all new to me too, as I haven't heard much about the French/Italian royals before. Very intriguing. Not sure what I will take to work tomorrow, I may even take work books for my OU as I haven't read any over xmas. We shall see in the morning. Quote
Lilywhite Posted December 30, 2006 Author Posted December 30, 2006 Just updated my TBR list as I got a couple of books for xmas/b'day and I went to Border's today with my pennies and spent many of them in there. Very Happy Bunny today Quote
