Angel Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 Finished Innocent Traitor this evening. A very good read - a very real attempt to get behind the story of Lady Jane Grey. Her childhood was so miserable yet she became so precosious to the end. Would recommend this one to those who enjoy historical fiction.

I saw a movie on Lady Jane Grey years ago, and was fascinated by the story, plus I like historical fiction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just read my first and enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Posted May 6, 2007 Author Share Posted May 6, 2007 Louise - go on - you know you want to!! You won't be disappointed!! I have tried 2 of Tracy Chevalier's - Lady and the Unicorn and The Girl with the Pearl Earring. I found that I enjoyed both much more than I thought I would. Which one did you try?

Louiseog Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Virgin Blue, it was a bit like Labyrinth for me but less confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 Chocolat was a fantastic read. Thoroughly recommend it! Now reading The Sixth Wife by Suzannah Dunn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louiseog Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Any good? Recognise the author's name has she written any others (I know I could look myself but its been a long weekend!) So you can ignore me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katherine Parr's married life to Thomas Seymour is told from the view of her best friend Catherine, Duchess of Suffolk. Suzannah Dunn has also written Blood Sugar, Tenterhooks and The Queen of Subtleties amongst others.

Angel Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 The Sixth Wife wasn't too bad, although the plot did disappoint and didn't quite deliver for me. Now reading The Day of the Storm by Rosamunde Pilcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 Enjoyed Day of the Storm - a lovely light hearted read. Now what next.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyanddandy Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 On holiday I managed to read:-Lady Magdalen by Ropbert Jenkins Queen Mum - Katie Long Nineteen Minutes - Jodi Picoult Just starting The Butcher of St Peter's by Michael Jecks What did you think of Queen Mum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Posted June 2, 2007 Author Share Posted June 2, 2007 I thought it wasn't too bad - it was better than I thought it would be. I don't think that people realise the effects or ramifications of appearing on reality TV. It was a nice light read for the journey back especially when we got caught in a traffic jam going across Bodmin Moor!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louiseog Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 What about 19 minutes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share Posted June 3, 2007 Louise - I really enjoyed Nineteen Minutes. It was fascinating to see how the events built up to the main event. I actually felt really sorry for the main character Peter - he was doomed to fail right from the beginning of his life! After reading this, I'm surprised how more children do not finally 'snap' under the pressure of bullying. It was a thought provoking book - like most of Jodi Picoult's!!!!

Angel Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 Finished The Butcher of St Peter's. Jecks writing is very much like Peter Ellis and Peter Tremayne. Will definately read more of his books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonchild Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Queen Mum - Katie Long Nineteen Minutes - Jodi Picoult I have Queen Mum on my TBR pile and will be buying 19 minutes shortly. Looking forward to reading both of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
