I was in a massive reading slump for a lot of last month, but eventually I managed to read a total of 8 new books and reread 3. Once the slump was over, I was going through books like crazy!
I think I’ll do a separate post on the books I’ve been rereading, so I’ll just talk about the new ones today.
1. The Taming of the Queen by Philippa Gregory.
Premise: This is about Henry VIII’s sixth wife, Catherine (Kateryn in this book) Parr, who was the one to outlive him. (I’m not calling this a spoiler as it’s historical fiction!) Henry is still as spoilt as ever and the whole book is about Kateryn’s cleverness in how she survives marriage to a mad king whose previous wives have either been divorced or died.
My Rating: 4/5
