The Secret Bride: In the Court of Henry VIII
The Secret Bride: In the Court of Henry VIII
By Diane Haeger
9780451223135 398p
I love the story of Mary Tudor and how she made her way in her brother's court, so this book was very welcome! Very fun, good to hear about the good side of Henry VIII- the one that actually loved some people in his life and didn't cut their heads off!
9/10

Helen of Troy
Helen of Troy
By Margaret George
31 hours (book on CD)
I really couldn't stand her at times! Spoiled little brat, didn't seem to care that she launched a war and was the cause of so many deaths. Couldn't give up her love for the good of everyone else. I couldn't even forget that I knew how it was going to end, numerous times I yelled at her to take a chance and avoid the war! (Yes, actually yelled, I was listening to it in my car so there was no one to hear me!) Despite that, it was amazingly detailed and movingly written. It's not often that I dislike a main character so much and yet adore the book anyway.
