What are you reading? May 2012

[quote=""princess garnet""]Speaking of Marie-Antoinette, I bought Days of Splendor, Days of Sorrow by Juliet Grey and have started reading it. The story picks up from her 1st novel Becoming Marie-Antoinette.[/quote]

I got those two books for my Kindle this week. I may read Becoming Marie Antoinette when I finish my romp with the Greek gods in modern London, which may be very soon because I'd rather read right now than do grading.

Yep. Here's a sample

Never had I allowed my sexual impulses to be so brutally released. I was driven to take to bed every woman who approached me. I made love savagely to each of them, enraged by the fact the she was not my Toinette. I made them lie down on their bellies, thrust at them furiously from behind. When bedded with golder females, I pressed their breasts together and thrust my penis up and down between those delicious globes, ejaculating on their chests...I tied princesses', dechusses', countesses' hands to the rails of their beds, thrust at them from a great distance as ferociously as possible, bit their nipples until they bled.

Another,

How lovingly she had arranged this little nest for me!...Although I was worn out, emotionally drained by what I sensed had been my last meeting ever with the queen, Eleanor and I made love. But making love with Eleanor was not an exerting experience; she did the bulk of the work. She was a flashy, large-breasted woman (yes, I do love breasts) with a bounteous belly that reminded me of the Venus de Milo's. Her favorite position - one should keep in mind that she was once a circus dancer - was to mount a man and exert all kinds of fascinating, exotic practices upon his body. She performed, at a variety of angles, many nuances of entrances and withdrawls (sic). Her legs wrapped around me as I sat at the edge of the bed, she alternated exquisitely slow and excitingly speedy motions. Standing up, as I cradled her in my arms and she kept her plump white limbs wrapped around me, after some stupendous exertions we ended up sharing our orgasms on the floor. This all happened in my little room, when we could always hear the front door opening and closing, and remained warned of Craufurd's comings and goings.

I swear, I seriously contemplated tossing that hard against the wall. The only thing that stopped me was I'd scare kitteh, plus the noise to my elderly neighbor below. Gah.

Becoming Marie Antoinette by Juliet Grey; I'm going to her childhood homes this summer.

The Supplanter by Pamela Hill (an OOP about Henry I). Not very far into it yet, but so far, a lot of history telling. Although since I don't know a whole lot about the ancestors of Henry's wife, it is interesting albeit rather confusing.

I've been avoiding that one until I know there's another one after it.

According to the author site, there will be. No other news besides the title though.

Well until I know for sure I'm not going to read it (though I might change my mind, who knows!).

Started Bring Up the Bodies today.

My goodness, Misfit! I think those excerpts spoiled something, but not what we usually mean when we speak of spoilers.

On the final swing of The Glitter and The Gold by Michael Dyne. It's about George IV and Maria Fitzherbert. Rather good, and lots of funny moments.
