I recently listed out all those great books that I’d purchased, but somehow got started on THE QUEEN’S FOOL by Philippa Gregory. Should I admit this is my first Philippa Gregory novel? Well it is. And no, I’ve not seen THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL yet, but I’d like to. I think I may read the book first.
I loved THE QUEEN’S FOOL. The story followed a complex young woman whose heart (and intellect) did not see in simplistic shades of black and white. I enjoy reading about characters who have conflicting strengths and weaknesses, and make mistakes, and sometimes act impulsively, but yes, learn and grow from their experiences.
I also met Kimberly Frost this morning for some coffee and writing, and made some progress on my weekly page quota.
Yipee!
I hope all of you authors heading off to the Romantic Times Convention in Pittsburg have a great time! Me, I’m headed to the coast this weekend.
