Being accurate and reading the same people over and over gets boring sometimes. Historical entertainment is great for a pick me up.

A great review, Lizzie.<br /><br />Thanks for the giveaway!Michelle Stockard Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03572227726980569386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319886081447332049.post-41901742874784747892011-09-03T20:59:54.874-07:002011-09-03T20:59:54.874-07:00Hehe Roberta we are so alike I know sex sells and ...Hehe Roberta we are so alike I know sex sells and especially on me if it i done in the right way. I bet you would like it, it is not perfect in accuracy but it sure is entertaining. <br /><br />Audra, I agree if we always read the facts it would be boring. Oh I know what you mean I think that is why I am more open minded about my fiction was I tend to read the fiction first then the facts later. I too have done the same thing it stinks. <br /><br />Daphne, I am glad you enjoyed it too. I felt this one much more than her previous one.Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06610444517085989215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319886081447332049.post-23859098943704661312011-09-03T17:42:57.891-07:002011-09-03T17:42:57.891-07:00I enjoyed this one as well - I'm looking forwa...I enjoyed this one as well - I'm looking forward to her next book.Daphnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12838072651419264066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319886081447332049.post-3934708959424347842011-09-03T10:43:55.280-07:002011-09-03T10:43:55.280-07:00Oooh, I really like your categorization of 'hi...Oooh, I really like your categorization of 'historical entertainment' -- I think that's a very good way to describe these kinds of hist fic (book, film or tv show). I don't mind some inaccuracy especially if it's not my setting, you know? I made the mistake of reading a bunch of Elizabeth bios before seeing the films -- ooft, that annoyed me!Audrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511122937603890352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319886081447332049.post-5376600965902168482011-09-03T10:18:25.117-07:002011-09-03T10:18:25.117-07:00Oh yeah Lizzie...you had me at the lust/sex part o...Oh yeah Lizzie...you had me at the lust/sex part of the review...lol The first book I read by Philippa Gregory was The Other Boleyn and it had me hooked because of all the lust and intrigue. Yes I love a good historical (nearly factual) story but it also has to be interesting...and nothing beats a good love/lust story ;) Would love to read this. {hugs} RobertaRobertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16493412205283777117noreply@blogger.com
