Tip of the day

Don't get in a panic over Christmas. Keep a box and put a little in it every week - small gifts, wine, nibbles, napkins etc. This way, you'll be more relaxed and less skint in December! keriku

Quote of the week

CaptainNancy's (admirably succinct) family rules: "Don't be a dingbat/duffer. Keep calm and carry on. Dream big. Shut up and get on with it."

Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

I loved Innocent Traitor! Just finished The Lady Elizabeth, which was just as good, and used one of the characters for a 'bit' part, which was nice!

I love any thing tudor and especially Phillippa Gregory and Alison Weir. The Boleyn Inheritance was fantastic.

Really liked innocent traitor, her mother is portrayed as such a bitch isn't she? I've read Sisters who would be queen by Leanda De Lisle which is a biography of jane and her 2 sisters and is also very good.

I have to say I didn't like it that much. Couldn't put my finger on it but felt something was lacking and I was disappointed.

I don't know, I only catch up with books in the school holidays - 2 and a bit weeks to go until I can read for pleasure!!!

tudor history is absolutely fascinating to me and it is fast becoming a passion. this book is brilliant - especially as it is written in the first person through so many character's eyes

I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!
