Even though I am still working my way through Penman's Time and Chance about Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine (and enjoying it as I do all of her books) I am super excited about a couple of books I have headed my way!
I have a copy of The First Princess of Wales, a novel about Edward the Black Prince and Joan of Kent, and a copy of Daughter of Time, about Richard III, on their merry way to me from Paperbackswap.com. I have read Princess and I am thrilled to get my hands on a copy and add it to my growing historical fiction collection without having to pay at least $15 for it. Daughter comes highly recommended from readers over at the Goodreads website and I am itching to read it.
I've also been on the lookout for copies of The Seventh Son and Court of the Midnight King, both about Richard III.

I really liked Daughter of Time. Some of the modern day stuff is more dated but it is a fascinating way to read the story.
ReplyDeleteI have read (and have) all of those R3 novels except for "Court of the Midnight King" -- I'll have to look for that one. Well, I say I don't have it -- I have so many books which I haven't read yet that I actually have to check my bookshelves before I order anything!
ReplyDeleteWow these are great books! I sooo want to read Daughter of Time. There's some many facets to RichardIII. Thanks:)
