Catherine de' Medici: The Life and Times of the Serpent Queen by Mary Hollingsworth

Did not finish book. Stopped at 41%.

I was just not feeling it at this time, partly because the writing is somewhat repetitive. This doesnt mean I won't try again because I will - I just need to be in the right frame of mind, which is better than trying to force myself through something that I'm just not invested in. Perhaps in a year or two, when I've had time to forget.

Anne Boleyn & Elizabeth I: The Mother and Daughter Who Changed History by Tracy Borman

informative reflective fast-paced

4.0

Personally, this was a lot harder to get through than previous Borman books I've read but it's only because I've been preoccupied with other things.

This certainly focuses less on the events in Anne and Elizabeth's lives, and more on the connection between these two women and how one influenced the other, even from beyond the grave.

Another well done biography from Tracy Borman.
