1 - Stormbird - Conn Iggulden - Fiction
This is the first book in a series called The Wars of The Roses series and it tells the tale of the Civil War that Plagued England in the 13th Century. This is a fiction book and it is such a good one each book is better than the last in this series and i am really sad to see it ending in May 2016.
2. Philip and Elizabeth - The Portrait of A Marriage - Gyles Brandreth - Non Fiction
I haven't read this book in full it is one of those books i love to flip through and reads bits and pieces of. This tells the tale of a marriage that has lasted 60 + years and i personally love it.
3. The Confession of Catherine Howard - Suzannah Dunn - Fiction
This is probably the first ever Adult Historical Fiction book i read and even around 6 years on i still love it and still remember a lot of what happened in that book.
4. The Lady Elizabeth - Alison Weir - Fiction
This was the first Elizabeth book i read from when Elizabeth was young, in the past i had read books from her reign but never from her childhood and this was so insightful. And told of possible scenarios of why she ended up the way she did.
5. Charles & Camilla: Portrait of A Love Affair - Gyles Brandreth - Non Fiction
Much like Philip and Elizabeth by the same Author, i just love flicking through this and reading passages and bits of modern history and how it came to be since when all of this was playing out i was only about 2 years old so i didn't really know much about it until i started looking it up.
6. The Virgin Widow - Anne O'Brien - Fiction
This book is about a Queen who we know very little of in this time the 1480 there are two Queens who have fallen into obscurity and this is about Richard III's Wife Anne Neville who some would say was behind the plot to put her husband on the throne and take the crown from his nephew.
7. Plantagenet Princess, Tudor Queen - Samantha Wilcoxson - Fiction
And here is other other obscure Queen of the 1480's and she is Elizabeth of York and this is the best book i have found for her be it fiction or non fiction, it is one of the best.
8. The Plantagenet's - Dan Jones - Non Fiction
Again i haven't read the whole thing but i have read passages and i really don't know much about this era, i am more Tudors than anything and this is before the Tudors and it really is fascinating when people say the Tudors were violent they really have nothing on The Plantagenet's.
9. The Other Queen - Philippa Gregory - Fiction
I had to include this book since it is about British royalty and i have only included English so far, but this book is about Mary Queen of Scots and it is one of the best in the series and i enjoyed it and again i really don't know much about Scottish Royalty only that pretty much all of then were called Mary or James, so it is fun for me when i read books so i can learn more (but don't do that with Gregory's books because they are more fiction than fact.)
Until Next Time
Happy Reading
