Feeling a bit better today.
Finished reading The Red Queen by Philippa Gregory. I did not like it as much as The White Queen. Maybe it was just the character I didn't like but the Queen in this latest book made me very angry. She thought her will was God's will and if she wasn't given everything she wanted then she just didn't understand.
Being on her knees praying into all hours of the day and night for "saints knees" made her proud. ETC.
It was loosely based on some history somewhere but not nearly as captivating as the first book as I said.
It left me wanting to read something fluffy and rediculous now instead of something so stuffy.It's the end of my library books for this time so I'll have to read something I've bought that I left on the floor (about 15 things just waiting for me to get a break from the library). I do have some holds from the library that I want but they haven't called me yet so I have a little time before I'll go back.

I am not much of a reader--never was. I know why, but it is a long sad story.
Glad you are feeling better despite not liking the book you read.

stuffy not good

I should visit your shelfari page again. I haven't done so in a long time. I wonder if your list of books grew.
Well, time to see!
Glad you're feeling a bit better!
@LegendaryD - I've read 26 books this year so I'd say it has. About 2 a week I'd guess. Some are just fluff pieces (sexy romance novels) and some actually stories!
I've heard that's a good book
@hesacontradiction - the White Queen was much better and the first book in the series. I give the Red Queen only 2 stars.
Reminds me of a guy I use to go to church with. He use to fast for days at a time and every time he did it, he would make a huge deal of it and really get prideful. So not the point!
Have you read The Heavenly Tree trilogy?
@Pepin909 - I don't think I have. Who's the author? I'll put them on my list to look into.
@LadyofWaters - It's called The Heaven Tree trilogy and it's by Edith Pargeter writing as Ellis Peters. http://www.amazon.com/Heaven-Trilogy-Green-Branch-Scarlet/dp/0446517089
