Off With Her Head!

Always an avid reader, Ciara has taken to historical fiction much like her Nana. Her interest of late involves the various women in the life of Henry VIII. She started with a wonderful book about Elizabeth I. The story is told through the fictional diary of the girl as a teen. Ciara was hooked.

Her most recent read is Doomed Queen Anne. She has been engrossed in it for days. The other day she came running into the kitchen to enquire if this Queen Anne was the same Anne who married Henry "vee-eye-eye-eye" after Catherine of Aragon. I confirmed that it was.

After letting out a sigh only a tween could produce, she said, “Well, shoot. Now I know how it ends.” And off she went with sagging shoulders.

How dreadful it is for one to know history. It takes all the fun out of life :o)

LOL! A girl after my own heart with her historical bios and such! Of course, mine of late have been about the movers and shakers of the early Hollywood era, but still.

Did she ever get the 3rd book in the "Wicked" series?
