I can't wait to see what you think of The Lady of the Rivers by Philippa Gregory. Everytime I go into B&N I go straight to it and check it out. I entered it to win on Goodreads-Giveaways. If I don't win it I'm going to put it on my wish list for Christmas. :)

Wow! You ARE busy! We are all doing wonderful! I'm looking forward to hearing about the novel you are working on. :)
Stephanie wrote: "Hey Christy! We miss seeing you on Ladies & Literature!"I miss you guys too! I am wildly revising one novel while writing another. I'll be back more after the holidays, once my deadlines have calmed down. It has been a wild summer and fall, but I am loving it.
I hope you are all well. Blessings on you!
There is so much out there about Eleanor...and I am so glad...she truly is amazing...I. Love goodreads...I have met so many lovely people on it...
I can tell you love Eleanor :) I have not read a novel about her before To Be Queen, but after I definitely wanted to read more. I do love GR too and all the wonderful people and authors that I have met.
Alycia, I am so glad you read and liked TO BE QUEEN. I am completely devoted to Eleanor...can you tell? :) I am excited to hear that you are going to be diving into THE QUEEN'S PAWN...Eleanor is older in that novel, with a little more bitterness, but she is still her amazing self. Nothing gets her down. I truly admire her.I am so happy to be friends with you on Goodreads. I love this site!
