I just finished reading, "Days of Splendor, Days of Sorrow by Juliet Grey. A wonderful story,which I will be writing a review for. Next I will be reading, "The Secret Keeper by Sandra Byrd." I will be writing a review for this one as well.

I just finished The Secret Keeper this morning. I really enjoyed it.....and there are a couple of twists to the tale........

And a good authors note too.

[QUOTE=boswellbaxter;103917]Yes, it is. She mentions it in Kingmaker's Daughter.[/QUOTE

You're right

I saw it lastnight...I don't think I've read a book on Elizabeth of York.

Her first book, "To Die For" was a bit religiousy at times, was this one?

Northanger Abbey. I did this as an O'Level set book in a tough, rugby-obsessed, all-boys school in wartime Rhodesia in the 1970's. Reading it again, I wonder why on earth we were given it. Perhaps an attempt to instill some gentility into us Rhodies? If so, a desperate one.

Great book though.

Reading the King's Daughter. Did anyone else find Elizabeth tedious? James's daughter, not the Queen.

The novel by Christie Dickason? Yes, so much so that I couldn't finish the novel.

I'm now also reading "Netherwood" by Jane Sanderson, and skipping pages in "Hawksmoor".

Yep, that's the one. I'm trying to push through but I don't know how successful I will be.
