          <body><![CDATA[Antonia Fraser is one of my favorite authors. This book about the fabled Mary Queen of Scots is a real heartbreaker--like that poor Other Boleyn Girl a generation earlier, Mary  Queen of Scots was used and then abused by the people who were supposed to support and protect her. <br/><br/>Unlike Mary ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61724060">more...</a>]]></body>

Which was not an easy decision.<br/><br/>This is a wonderful coming-of-age autobiography about a most unusual kid--a boy born in Hawaii to a white gal from Kansas and...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61722993">more...</a>]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[This was a fun read and BTW a lot better than the film. Henry VIII is still a pig but at least he seems to care about being good in bed. The way the English gentry treated their women is beyond shocking--poor what's-her-name-Boleyn is basically offered up in the hopes of getting in the royal family ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61722606">more...</a>]]></body>

Moehringer--about my age, and from roughly the same East Coast area that I grew up in--has great insights into pre-development Scottsdale, Arizona, where I now live, uneasily. Oh yes, and there's all that stuff about the guys in the bar who helped him understand that elusiv...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61722328">more...</a>]]></body>
