I am always reading, and never the same genre. I thought it would be fun to share with you what I am reading and my thoughts about it all.

The Stolen Crown by Susan Higginbotham
I am a sucker for historical fiction. This one got me a little with all of the people and who they belonged to and at what times. It takes place while King Edward IV is reigning and all the twists and turns of his marriage and who is in alliance with each other. It fascinates me how quickly loyalties change and how quick those in power could judge and kill. There was such a tremendous amount of violence during that time and it was so visceral. I think that I enjoyed the fictional part more than the historical just because there were so many kings and queens and dukes and duchesses, it was very hard to keep straight and Higginbotham seemed to include everyone. Because of that I am not sure if I will be seeking out more of her books. If you can get past all of the names, the story was great. (NOOK)
