A Dance with Dragons by George R.R. Martin...got to find out what happens with the other half of the characters. Glad I don't have to wait 6 years!

I love having the Kindle highlight feature for books like this. Click and quote, no retyping

BTW, did I mention that Henry VIII was recalling a bit of family history her referred to as the Wars of the Roses? BB would be our resident expert, but I don't think that phrase had been coined yet...

Oh heck, it's alternative history so I guess this is allowed

The Butchered Man by Harriet Smart and so far I'm liking it. It's a mystery but it has that drama part mixed up with it the kind that keeps me hooked to Elly Griffiths and C.S. Harris's books. The book could use some editing though...

Next I dictated a short letter for King Louise of France

LOL! I'm just reading Christie Dickason's The King's Daughter as a companion to piece to her latest novel, Noble Assassin, which I finished a short time ago. Your quote brings to mind the satirical contemporary Jacobean saying Dickason mentions (James was notorious for his taste for pretty young men):

Rex fuit Elizabeth: nunc est regina Jacobus / Elizabeth was King: Now James is Queen.

I have these books in a tbr pile.....I'm slowly becoming more technological as I download to my Kobo (Canadian). I thought I'd never enjoy reading a gizmo rather than a book but I'm getting used to it!

I've just downloaded and started reading That Woman by Anne Sebba. About Wallis, Duchess of Windsor. So far, it's a good read. You know how some biographies are so arid that you read them only when you have insomnia? I'm also pondering another of her bios on Jennie Churchill.
