Philippa Gregory - Tudor Series Summer Read

So Far out of the Philippa Gregory -

Tudor Series -

 I have read the Following...

The Constant Princess - http://instagram.com/p/n9iTt2moE6/

This Book was Amazing - and is a Must Read for any Philippa Gregory Fan!

I had always wondered what Katherine of Aragon - First and Rightful Queen of England

life was like... she was so strong in her Believes and the " Lie " if she did indeed consummate her marriage to Prince Arthur is still on everyone's mind even to today is insane in a way...

Her Life was EVERYONES business but she was helpless to stop King Henry from abandoning her to die....

Sad story and yet so honest , raw emotions...

The Other Boleyn Girl - http://instagram.com/p/oUcRa1GoKS/

I had read before when I was maybe 15years old....soo maybe 12years ago -lol ugh

Anyways......so reading this Book again and watching the movie afterwards was so Fun for me!

The Book is Wonderfully written like everything Philippa Gregory! ;)

However my Favorite part of it was that it was written from the view point of  Mary Boleyn who was rarely mentioned in History - in General really....

So sad how her life as well as her siblings Anne Boleyn and George Boleyn were all used to climb to the top of the "Royal Ladder" ... Anne Boleyn was used and so she did her part and more ... and who could really blame her when her parents and family were all for this and whatever else they had to do...Anne was doing her best to stay alive in a mans world....

I think I will write more about Anne, Mary and George because these Children were tossed like chew toys into a Dog eat Dog world of Men and Spy's.. so they did they best they could do with what they were shown and given....

Btw- the Movie is really Good but get your tissues ready!!!

I Love Natalie Portman as Anne Boleyn and Scarlett Johansson was a pretty good Mary Boleyn!

So now I am on the Book

The Boleyn Inheritance -  http://instagram.com/p/ow8wWWmoFo/

Where King Henry sends for this painter to paint girls from all over ...so that he may choose himself a New Bride...some girls are eager to fill the Dead Queen - Jane Seymour's shoes and some not so much!

NOTE: I think after this book I will jump to another book series for a min  or month or so...lol

but I will always come back to Philippa Gregory - I Love Her writing and the Lives of these Brave young Women!

Happy Reading! :)

Philippa Gregory Cousins War Series Pt. 2

Just Finished Reading/Listening to The White Princess by Philippa Gregory


http://instagram.com/p/ngNAZFGoCW/


And Loved it soo Much! Really forces me to do some research on the Boys in the Tower of London....sooo sad that no one -not even Elizabeth of York knew what really happen to those boys...


I do believe that Elizabeth of Woodville did not hand over both sons to Richard III....


Plus many historians believe that one prince did actually survived ...no one knows for sure even now.....how awful and sad ... so was that young man claiming to be Prince Richard and confessed to being Perkin Warbeck Really> was he really the York Prince or a Pretender? Either way both "the boy" and the Earl of Warwick were murdered because King Henry VII was sooooo scared of these two threats and had to have them removed for what he thought at the time would be peace of mind...


But he must have know that what he did was MURDER 2 INOCCENT YOUNG Boys for his own Success in the Future!


I will write more when I do a bit more research
plus I am about to start the


TUDOR COURT NOVELS...


Starting with the Following:


The Constant Princess
The Other Boleyn Girl
The Boleyn Inheritance
The Queen's Fool
