Alison is my favourite historical author - her characters are as close to their true stories as fiction can possibly allow them to be. She can get inside the time period and their heads to take the reader on an emotional and exciting journey. It is the plight of Tudor women she does this with best; and the two books about Anne Boleyn and Lady Jane Grey are my favourites. I have loved devouring her books - easy reads and original twists.

Book Favorite

"Former President Carter has been an idol of mine my whole life. I chose the ‘White House Diary,’ because he is so detailed, nuanced and candid about his time in office that it actually reads like you accidentally stumbled upon your teenaged son’s incredibly and shockingly advanced diary while he is at school—except your teenage is son is former President Jimmy Carter and he was 86 years old when he wrote this book. You are going to be so proud of him"

perseverance got me to chapter 15 but I genuinely can't go any further. worst w
book ive read in reads. I never normally speak badly of a book so you can see how bad this book must be.... all I kept thinking was blah blah blah..

I didn't even skip to the end for the final chapters to see how it ended because I really didn't care! just glad its a library book and I didn't waste any money on it!

Good afternoon, lovely people! There's a real and practical truth to this one that anyone who reads regularly will recognise, that a good book is one of the most reliable places to go when the world feels like a bit much. Today feels like a very reasonable day to be reminded of that.

Have a Magnificent Monday. Take care and stay safe. 💙
