I really haven't been that interested in reading (I wonder why?) these past few weeks, but I'm doing my best to get back to normal. As such, here we go:

7. Victoria by Daisy Goodwin
About Queen Victoria when she was first come to the monarchy. Didn't realize until I was about half way through it was the basis of the PBS show. Interesting, but don't know how accurate it is. Fiction, historical fiction baby. I'm interested in the follow up as this only went to right before she married Albert.

8. The Romanovs: The Final Chapter by Robert K. Massie
I'd read the book about Catherine the Great by Massie a while ago and enjoyed it. This was equally as fascinating if not morbid. It had quite a bit of detail of the massacre and aftermath. Sad. Also had a great deal of info regarding the pretender Anastasias.

9. The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova
Just started this before I stopped reading for a bit. Time to get back to it.
