What I'm reading this week (2/15/21)

 Last week I finished:

The Last Tudor, Philippa Gregory

I'm enjoying my delve into Philippa Gregory's vast number of royalty books (see another review here). I should probably be reading them in order, as I know so little of the history of English monarchs, their succession, and intrigue that it's hard to follow from one to the next, but I limped along here until I got it. This is the story of the last three Tudor Princesses, Jane (as in Lady Jane Grey who was on the throne for only nine days and is considered one of the first Protestant martyrs), Katherine, and Mary. The books are fascinating, full of drama (it's almost hard to believe they're based on true stories), well paced, and feel well researched. The audio versions are very good. I'd like to read (or listen to) more of these. My rating: 4 stars.

This week I'll finish:


This has been quite a ride!


And then I'll move on to this reread:


I'm looking forward to this re-read. It seems the perfect book for long, cold February days.


My nightly reads:


I think I'll finish one or both of these this week.


And I hope to begin this:



My next audiobook:


I can't decide which one sounds best right now. Tune in next week to find out what I chose!
