The first historical fiction book I ever read was Philippa Gregory's The Constant Princess and because it launched my never ending interest in all things English Monarchy, it will always have a special place in my heart. :D

My favourite and the first PG book I read was TOBG, followed by The Boleyn Inheritance I enjoyed reading them both. The rest I have been disappointed with. What saved The Red Queen was Philippa's take on Thomas Stanley-What a villain.

Now I am waiting for The Cousins War and LOTR.

So far, my favourite is The Other Boleyn Girl, although I very much enjoyed The Wise Woman.

Yes I had to think about that one too! ;)

I've only read TOBG so far, which I credit with re-starting my love for HF, and I really enjoyed it.

The Queen's Fool and The Boleyn Inheritance are my favorites in her 'royals' books. I also really liked Earthly Joys and A Respectable Trade.

Divia--"LOTR = Lord of the Rings in my mind..."Madeleine--Yes I had to think about that one too.."

LOL Ladies. After I wrote that & clicked submit, I then remembered that Lord of the Rings has the same initials :D ...heehee :p

C.W. gortner--"I also really liked Earthly Joys and A Respectable Trade."

I have been thinking about those two books, but what put me off EJ is the thought that it's a book about a gardener? And I hate gardening! :D But then again I hate cooking but I buy tons of cook books :rolleyes: ....I call them my pornography :D

Another PG book that I enjoyed was 'The Little House' and I also liked the TV movie of it starring Francesca Annis as the MIL from hell.

This is my favorite so far, too. Although I've quite a few yet to catch up on...
