[quote=""Alisha Marie Klapheke""]I'm reading THE SISTER QUEENS by Sophie Perinot. It is set in my fave time period--reigns of Saint Louis and Henry III of England. Love it.[/quote]
That's my next book to read! The author has a website and blog: www.sophieperinot.com/home/

Also Marguerite is a character in The Crown Rose by Fiona K. Avery. Covers the same period too.

I'm also reading Sophie's "Queens", so far so good. Man that Blanche is a major bitca.

I finished Mariana by Susanna Kearsley this morning.Whoa. Just whoa. This story has so many twists and turns. This one is tied with Winter Sea as my favorite. Blows The Rose Garden out of the water! Wow still reeling from it.

Now to attempt Rosemary Hawley Jarman's Crown in Candlelight for the second time. The first time I was too distracted and couldn't follow the story.

Daughter of Troy by Susan B. Franklin. Wondering why Anatolian Lyrnessos is portrayed as a Mycenaean/Minoan culture when the Greek colonies of the period were concentrated farther to the south, around Miletos. Otherwise, I like the book, though I hear that Briseis spends quite a bit of time on her back later on.

Odo's Hanging, by Peter Benson. The story of the making of the Bayeux Tapestry as seen by a mute helper to the designer. The jury is still out.

Just saw that Mariana will have a Kindle version. Last time I checked it didn't. Looking forward to reading it.
