Ever have a book that you read that you just so into and you think about it when you're not reading it and even sometimes dream about it? Well, I just finished one of those books. I'm even still thinking about it now after I'm done!!
It's "The Other Boleyn Girl" by Philippa Gregory. It's a historical fiction about King Henry and his wives and two sisters who vie for the king's affections. It's not dirty at all and it's just so fun! Medieval times are my favorite time period to read about (that or the Roman time period). I love all the drama and cunning and planning and corruption and rivalry between the girls. It's really well written and really long so you can settle in for a great read that will occupy you for a while instead of it quickly grabbing you only to have it end after a couple of days!
I haven't seen the movie yet so I can't pass judgment on it yet. But I plan to rent it next week. I've heard it's not all that great, but I bet it tries to cram every event in the book into the movie which would make it just a confusing 2 hours.
Yuck my coffee is cold
Jenna, you are so cute! I can't say much about the reading thing. I don't read, but your description of a good book makes me want to pick it up. Then I read your coffee observation and I could just imagin you taking a sip and making a face, and then proceeding to type what you just experienced. I love you! You are so adorable.
ReplyDeleteI love how you read so much! I think it is fantastic. I love to read but you beat me by miles :) The movie is ok...I saw it right after my miscarriage and as you gathered from the book...not such a good idea! haha but the actors/acresses are really good
