136

Finished The Virgin's Lover by Philippa Gregory.  This was for the genre challenge (historical fiction). 

It's another in her Tudor series--this is Elizabeth I, during the time when Mary Queen of Scots was becoming a threat (although The Other Queen deals more with that).  In this one, Elizabeth is queen but is basically being used by two different guys for their own purposes. 

Really not one of my favorites.

Girl, you really blow through the books! I kinda stopped after Breaking Dawn, haven't picked up any fiction since then. I tried reading today during the kids naptime and couldn't get through a whole chapter. I ended up playing on facebook instead. I don't know what's wrong with me! My concentration is just shot.

It's winter, Janie. :) I have nothing else. ;)

I also haven't really read anything challenging. We'll see what happens when I do.

Have you read any others by her? I love "The Other Boleyn Girl" and "The Queen's Fool" but I haven't read anymore than those yet.

I've read most of her Tudor series. I also loved The Other Boleyn Girl (and The Boleyn Inheritance). I think those two are my favorite, but I liked Queen's Fool (this one has more about Robert Dudley) too.

Is "Inheritance" next after "Fool"?

Inheritance is before Fool.

I think it's Constant Princess (Katherine of Aragon), Boleyn Girl, Boleyn Inheritance, Queen's Fool, Virgin's Lover, Other Queen.

I read them in a weird order, though.
