MJ’s comments from the The Complete Idiots Guide to the Ultimate Reading List group.

Once a again our #s have increased. Welcome to all the new group members

You me and everyone else wants Jamie

I dont know about physics but she is a great author

Your most Welcome. I am just glad that I can discuss these books with others

The Constant Princess is my favorite. I like how Philippa Gregory gave us an alternate version of what happened and I think a more accurate one.

okay here goes....
The Constant Princess -Katherine of Aargon
The Other Bolyen Girl - Mary and Anne Bolyen
The Bolyen Inheritance -Anne of Clives and Katherine Howard
The Queens Fool -Daughter Mary (Bloody Mary)
The Virgin's Lover - Queen Elizabeth

She has a new book coming out The Other Queen which is about Mary Queen of Scot and would occur after The Virgin's Lover.

An interesting book is also the Innocent Traitor-A Novel of Lady Jane Gray by Alison Weir. This is a great story about how two families ambitions destroyed an innocent girls life. In historical order it would go before the Queens Fool

Do you want the order they were written or the historical order?

before this book i was all about mystery, romance, chick lit and horror. I rarely read outside these generes. So this book has really helped me to branch out.

Here are my favorite romances from the list:

The Wolf and the Dove by Kathleen Woodwise
Saving Grace by Julie Garwood
Whitney, My Love by Judith McNaught
Lord Will and Her Grace by Sophia Nash
Marry in Haste by Lynn Kerstan
Bet Me by Jennifer Cruise
Blame It on Chocolate by Jennifer Greene
Good Girls Do by Cathie Linz
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
Black Ice by Anne Stuart
The Cove by Catherine Coulter
Mr.Perfect by Linda Howard
Picture me Dead by Heather Graham
Slow Burn by Julie Garwood
The Ugly Duckling by Iris Johansen
A Knight in Shining Armor by Jude Deveraux
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
Dark Lover by J.R. Ward
Date Me Baby, One More Time by Stephanie Rowe

I say that once a month. ANd them the library calls your book you had on reserve is in and I leave the library with 10 books + the one on reserve. I have no will power

I just bought this book at a yard sale

Hi to all our new members!!

I love the Outlander series. I always heisitate to recoomend romances because people are picky about them. So have you read any romances and which ones did you like and then I can help

I hate that I have stacks and stacks of books to read but then I go to the library and get more. I always read the Library ones first cause they have a due date and you can just call me Michael

Hi Catamorandi

If you look close a few books (just a few) are also on the 10001 books you must read before you die list also.

No i have only read the original version when it first came out

its rare that I add new books to my favorites but this is one of them

Angie I agree about the illustrated edition. Its interesting to look at the painting that the characters are discussing

I have read a lot of these also
