It's Monday, what are you reading? #2


It's Monday What Are You Reading? is a weekly meme that is hosted by Sheila at One Persons Journey through a world of books


Last books I read:

The Lace Reader: Brunonia Barry - review

Mommie Dearest: Christina Crawford - I love Old Hollywood, and this had been on my shelf for the longest time!




This week I'm reading:



Philippa Gregory presents the first of a new series set amid the deadly feuds of England known as the Wars of the Roses.

Brother turns on brother to win the ultimate prize, the throne of England, in this dazzling account of the wars of the Plantagenets. They are the claimants and kings who ruled England before the Tudors, and now Philippa Gregory brings them to life through the dramatic and intimate stories of the secret players: the indomitable women, starting with Elizabeth Woodville, the White Queen.

The White Queen tells the story of a woman of extraordinary beauty and ambition who, catching the eye of the newly crowned boy king, marries him in secret and ascends to royalty. While Elizabeth rises to the demands of her exalted position and fights for the success of her family, her two sons become central figures in a mystery that has confounded historians for centuries: the missing princes in the Tower of London...

Next up:  I'll finally be starting on the 2010 Debut Author Challenge I signed up for, so will be picking from one of these for my next read.
