Just applied. I heard the author on Radio 4 and she has written about a fascinating woman. I would love to read and review this book.

I can't remember if I applied or not! Can I apply again to be sure or will that disqualify me if I already have?

Wow, this sounds very interesting! My favourite patch of history.

I saw a play called The Maharajah's Daughters which was about Princess Sophia and her sisters. It was a quite a few years ago now but I remember it being absolutely fascinating. Would love to read this, right up my street too.

Just applied looks great. Cannot believe I have never heard of her.
