Lady D Reads

This Sunday starts our last season with Johnathan Rhys Meyers as Henry VIII where has the time gone???I remember when I discovered that Showtime was going to do air this show I was so excited I had to find out all I could about it. There is no denying that the Tudors were some of my favorite historical characters.

I added afew more books to the book shelf this last week . At the goodwill I found a beautiful copy of Karen Harper's Passions Reign about Mary Boleyn and her husband William Stafford. Much to my husband's dismay another Tudor related book came home with me. I found a copy of Forbidden Lady On ebay for $1.50 a romance set during the time of The War of The Roses, By Anne Herries . From The bookstore I picked up The Founding and the much talked about The Boleyn Wife. Cant wait to dive in to these books this summer!
