38. The Queen's Bastard by Robin Maxwell
I picked this up at the warehouse sale at our local bookseller. They do that about once a month or so. I guess they have so many books come in, they have to make room. I always get a headache when I go through their boxes and boxes of books.
This is purely fiction, a "what if" if you will. There really was a man named Arthur Dudley and the plot of this supposes he really was the illegitimate son of QEI and Leicester. There is enough real history for it to be interesting, and I enjoyed it. I'd read the other books by Maxwell. I'm particularly interested in "The Secret Diary of Anne Boleyn". It was referenced several times in the book I'd read.
39. The Crown by Kiera Cass
This is the last book in the 'selection' series. I had guessed the ending during the last book and I was right. A fluffy read I finished in one day. Onward.

Ohhh warehouse sales at a bookstore sounds fun! I'm glad you enjoyed The Queen's Bastard. It does sound pretty interesting. I love alternate history etc in historical fiction.
