Ich hatte vor Jahren eine „heiße Phase“ was historische Romane angeht, aber dann hatte ich ein paar langweilige dazwischen und ich habe die Lust verloren. Aber „Blutrote Lilien“ von Kathleen Weise hat mich wieder auf den Geschmack gebracht und ich habe mir „Gilt“ vorgenommen. Die Geschichte der 5. E...
I'm a big Tudor fan. Wait, let's start over again. I'm a big Henry VIII fan. Anything to do with his reign I am besotted with. It's just such an amazing period in history that's so rich and full of something that just makes me shiver whenever I think about it. The courts, the dresses, the romances, ...

I finished Gilt in a day. It is a little repetitive at times. The same conflicts seem to make up a bulk of the plot (all of the conflicts revolve around romance/relationship drama). There’s not a lot of suspense though, seeing how most people will know that Henry VIII’s fifth wife was beheaded.In my...
Phillipa Gregory for teens, but told from the vantage of a marginalized character. This novel covers the reign of Henry VIII's fifth wife, Catherine Howard. There's a romantic element, but it's not a romance. It's more about a girl who is bullied and forced into the shadows by her now Queenly BFF tr...
