About meI loved to read as a child and through high school but then college and life got in my way and I didn't read much for about 12 years or so. I started reading again in 2006 on a family vacation and haven't stopped!

Tanzanite is my puppy and I use her name and image for all my web related book stuff.

About my libraryCurrently, I am into reading historical fiction mostly about England and Europe through the Tudor period. I'm not really sure what it is that fascinates me about it, but I love it!! I have also learned a lot about history, religion and politics in the process.

I see you have read 'The Sisters Who Would Be Queen' by Leanda de Lisle.

If you have any questions about Lady Jane, Katherine or Mary Grey, Leanda will be answering them at my blog.

If you want to ask anything, please do so by April 15th.

Thanks!

thank you so much! I will have to check those ones out! :) I never thought of Ebay - good idea... I cringe when paying for some of my books. Happy New Year and enjoy your 2009 reads!

I just wanted to let you know that I've requested that my user name be change to LiterateHousewife. You shouldn't be seeing Speedhaven around too much longer...

I saw your post in the Historical Fiction Group about Elizabeth Chadwick, I love her stories. The Greatest Knight and The Scarlet Lion were great reads. I cannot wait to read the story about his father John Marshal, since his father turned him over to King Stephen I would love to know what lead up to that. If I am not mistaken I think her next novel will mention William Marshal and Isabelle, I read it on her blog.

Also check out the Valerie Anand trilogy about the events leading up to and following 1066: "Gildenford", "The Norman Pretender", and "The Disputed Crown". They're all out of print, but as with "The Golden Warrior", copies can be easily found at http://www.bookfinder.com.

I just read your review of "Harold the King" by Helen Hollick. As good as it was, I think "The Golden Warrior" by Hope Muntz is even better. It is one of the greatest historical novels ever written. Unfortunately, it's out of print, but you can easily locate a copy at http://www.bookfinder.com as I did. As one who is fascinated by the events of 1066, what led up to it, and the aftermath, I've read everything about that time that I could lay my hands on. I've often wondered how history would have turned out had Harold won the battle, not that psychotic thug William. As you noted in your review, even though you know the outcome, the death of Harold (and Saxon England) is still heartbreaking. It's gratifying to see that a movie is finally being made about these earthshaking events.
