It's been a long while since I read a P.hilippa G.regory novel. The last book I read was The W.hite Q.ueen and absolutely LOVED it.
I thought about it the other day and decided to check her site to see when the second book of the trilogy is coming out and hold and behold, The R.ed Q.ueen will be released in August!
I c.a.n.n.o.t wait!
Seriously.
I want to make a day out of it. Just for me!
Maybe, I'll book a day off work (no pun intended). I'll find the comfiest place in our home, eat super cute cupcakes and mini cucumber sandwiches, and sip sweet teas while turning each delicious page. Think English tea party, here. Yum.
(Ha, I can imagine The Hubby asking me why everything is always related to food.)
Anyway.
Have any of you watched The O.ther B.oleyn G.irl with E.ric B.ana, N.atalie P.ortman and S.carlett J.ohansson? The movie was actually based on one of her books. I highly recommend reading it; it has so much more depth and character.
My boss first recommended me the novel. It took me a couple of weeks to start reading it, but I swear, after the first chapter, I was hooked. Soon after, I finished the rest of the series, The T.udors.
I was completely satisfied, yet sad because the journey was over.
Then I saw her newest trilogy, The C.ousins' W.ar.
To be honest, I hesitated because the stories are based before The T.udors era and I loved, love The T.udors! Anne B.oleyn, King H.enry VIII, and Q.ueen E.lizabeth I are stunning and powerful characters. I mean, how can you compete with them?
But you know what? P.hilippa G.regory is such a fluid and wonderful writer, she makes you fall in love with the characters so easily. I thoroughly enjoyed The W.hite Q.ueen and was not disappointed at all.
Enter big sigh here. I cannot wait to add The R.ed Q.ueen to my collection.
