[quote=""Brenna""]I tried looking for it on amazon.com/us but it didn't come up. I searched by title and by author. I'll try again.
That is a great challenge. Mine is similar-read a book (fiction or nonfiction) about every King/Queen from King Arthur to Queen Elizabeth II.[/quote]
Here's the link to it:

Thanks for the link. I didn't realize that you could only buy the book used or through sellers other than amazon.com. How did you find out about that one?
Well, when I first read Sunne in Splendour by SKP, I realized that I didn't really know any of England's history before the Tudors (or after for that matter). So I just started making a list of all of the books that are out there and made a timeline at the same time. I'm not sure if I'll actually accomplish it or not, but I'm going to try my darndest! I've read the books through William I through Richard III and the Tudors, but I've got a bunch more to go. This website sure is helpful though!

You're welcome! Most likely I did a search for "William I" and it came up. I rarely buy books new from Amazon, especially if I can find it cheaper used, usually through Amazon's used books service.

I've been thinking about that one! Plse let me know how you like it! Your new book has been delayed until Jan 11th at Amazon Canada, so I have more time to wrap up other reads before I settle in with it! (at least that's a positive spin on my disappointment!

Just got in the mail:
Richard III by David Hipshon (NF)
Jane Seymour: Henry VIII's True Love by Elizabeth Norton (NF)
Red Rose of Anjou by Jean Plaidy (I already own the hardback, but I wanted the mass-market paperback for its gloriously tacky cover. Can't replicate that on Mr. Kindle!)
