I just realized how long it had been since I have made a real post that doesn't ahve to do with my polls! That is really scary so I'm gonna make a really real post.
So right now I am reading The Other Boleyn Girl By Philppa Gragory for the kinda second time. The first time I read it I got it as a library book and had to return it before I was done so this will technically be the first time I finish it, but whatever. This is the book that really started me on the Tudor era. I'm a historical fiction nut so this was right up my alley. After I read this one I read tons of other books about King Henry and his six wives and I love it! The best part for me is being able to get all the different perspectives. For example reading about Jane Parker in The Other Boleyn Girl and despising her and then reading about her in The Boleyn Inheritance (also by Gregory) and totally loving her. How else can you really understand history unless you get both sides of the story?
For those of you who have had no idea what I have been dithering on about here now would be an excellent time to use the fabulous world wide web to do a little research. I am off to munch on delicious pepperoni pizza!
Au revoir (if you don't know this either maybe you need to spend a little less time on the computer and a little more time reading)
