I have at least 4 U's with my TBR right now.

I just need someone to clarify one thing. The MPG is shifters correct. Every time I find a book with just shifters for the genre it directs me back to the shapeshifters genre. Are we allowed to use that?

The Life and Legend of Lucrezia Borgia by M.G. Scarsbrook
1'033 pages
MPG N
B - Lucrezia Borgia
E – Ercole d'Este
I – Ippolito d'Este
G – Giovanni Sforza
Lucrezia Borgia - Lucrezia Borgia is the most unfortunate woman in modern history pg 26 (this is approximate due to settings on my e-reader)

I finished my book on Lucrezia Borgia. Was glad this came up because I am studying her life for use at a historical re-enactment event. Amazing and interesting woman.

Also my apologies for lack of communication and bad completion posting. The laptop we had here had a light accident and is no longer working.

I found a series for next week. 5 books with a MC named Nova, that sould help with a few spell outs.
