oh philippa gregory

philippa gregory just does not get enough credit for her genius. i just finished the white queen, and if i hadn't already purchased the red queen in advanced i would have freaked out. this might be a better series than her writing on the tudors. and i loooove tudor history so that is saying a lot for these books!

the research and facts that she puts into all of her writings is amazing. it is almost as interesting to read the authors note at the end as it is to read the novel itself. i find myself wishing that she wrote about more than just english history.. i would love her take on the romanovs and marie antoinette and the medicis... so much history so little time! anyway.. philippa's stories will always hold a very close second place to harry potter... always waiting for the next one in line.
