No good for me

Thank you Tech!

Thank you!

Hullo there, Tech.

Thanks, Tech.

Hey Tech

Ever thought of doing an archaeological excavation on the computer systems? The servers qualify as antiques don't they?

You're history. Na na naa na!
Are you the same Tech who feels safe in his car??

You`re no good for me

Dont need no one
that`s no good for me

OK can anyone recommend good (and historically accurate) historical novels?

Dw really enjoyed the philippa Gregory ones (the other Boleyn girl etc) and said they were pretty much on the money.

ooohhhhoooohhhh!

lovely!

What's the history club????

It's a club about history

Good answer, Daddyman!

Thankyou Tech

Is it a secret club? Is there a code? Do you have to be invited to join it?

no.
just join.
it's not really a club.

So what are we going to learn?

Cake anyone?

As soon as History Club launched, I became really poorly. With the lergy and the ague.

Gran try The Daughter of Time, a novel about history rather than set in history. Interesting.

Jean Plaidy was my favourite historical novelist. I think she also wrote as Phillipa Gregory (she did have another nom de plume but I am not too sure of it was PG.)

What a cool idea. My speciality is Mexican and LA History. I am not so clued up on UK stuff though.

Was Jean Plaidy also Victoria Holt?

I read them too many years ago to admit.

I'm pretty sure Jean Plaidy ISN'T Phillipa Gregory. She is however Victoria Holt. Her writing under those names are totally different though. Jean Plaidy is fairly serious historical fiction. Victoria Holt is fairly dreadful historical romance. They are ok stories, but once you've read one, you've read them all!

Jean Plaidy (an addiction of my teens) also wrote gothic romance as Victoria Holt and Philippa Carr. Not sure what the Philippa Carr books were like, as I never read any, but had ten zillion Plaidy books, the one about Anne Boleyn being my top comfort read. (Despite not being very comforting, especially at the end.)
