Right was looking at all the books on my shelf and realised i havn't read so many of them so i basically need to read one and need help choosing
( Read more... )
All sound awesome, though I like the sound of Crown In Candlelight :D
Is the Lark Rise one a book based on the series or the original book? Cause it might not be as easy to read, I think they created the stories out of the tales of the village. Could be wrong though :P
They based some episodes on just a paragraph in the book apparently so its just kinda made up of lots of little tales. Plus if i read it will it spoil the next series for me knowing what is going to happen *ponders*
Mostly because anything historical in terms of RP, if it makes the voices insecure or gets them upset, is not good *nod* wait until you're all in a better place before reading them (and never doubt your writing of Bee or anyone *thwaps*)
Hmmm see i do like the Romans and Spartans tho think i have ruled out Lark Rise
Will avoid RPness books i think they do make me and the voices worry alot and *huggles her ska* its just cos Bee is such a historical charrie i want to ger her right :)

Hi there,
I just came across you blog and I have the answer for your dilemma: read Outlaw, by Angus Donald. I say that mainly because I wrote it. It's kind of a boy's book but give it a go. If you don't fancy that, read Berengaria, which is interesting, and she's also a character in my next book about the Third Crusade, But Ann Trinidad doesn't have many facts to play with - women on the whole, apart from fabulous, exceptional people like Eleanor of Aquitaine, were mostly invisible in the Middle Ages. I keep trying to read Lionheart and Lackland, as that is my period, but for some reason I can never get beyond the first couple of chapters. If you are a fan of El of Aq, try Alison Weir's brilliant biography.
Anyway, good luck in your new job. Happy reading, Angus
