When I first stumbled upon Martyr, I was looking for something to replace C.J. Sansom's Mathew Shardlake series. Honestly, I wasn't expecting to ever find something. The Shardlake series is a rarity when it comes to Tudor-era fiction. Clements has been more than up to the task with his John Shakesp...
I fell asleep reading this last night. I woke up this morning determined to finish before the Vikings play. SKOL! I have seen so many different books toted as comparable to C.J. Sansom's Matthew Shardlake books. More often than not, I find myself disappointed. Truth be told, I have not yet found ...
I'm glad to be finally finished. That book felt like it took forever to read. If it hadn't been a More Historical Than Fiction read I probably would have dropped it. Maybe I should have dropped it. Oh well. It's not that it's a bad book or anything; I just couldn't get into it. I'm not sure why I ...
First of all, let's just take a moment to appreciate that I finally finished a monthly read for More Historical Than Fiction. Yay, me! I know, I know.

The story is set during a period of great political turmoil within the UK as King E...
DNF at 22%I know I can't blame the book. I can't even say if it is good written or has a good story. It started okay, but then I had to read another book, and after that another one and...and when after a while I picked it up in hope to be able to read it further, I catched myself searching for an...
I appreciated this "Elizabethan Thriller" not so much for its mystery as for its historical detail and for the lively writing. I thought at first that making John Shakespeare William's older and less known brother was a bit precious, but fortunately it wasn't over-insisted upon and Will only made a ...
A short notice purchase, it was the best of sainsbury's limited selection... ... And it was truely dire! There was a believeable framework, but there was superimposed on this a far fetched mess of a story. Set in Elizabeth 1's reign, it concerns the unravelling of a plot by the Spanish to kill Sir F...
