Hey Guys,
Now that exams are over. ( I know I keep bringing it up but come on they are over)
I have had a bit more time to read ,cue excited cheering. I love to read I find it so amazing that just with a few words a good author can take you to new worlds and make you feel a multitude of emotions. I especially love reading historical or more to the point Tudor books.( whoa.Shocker there...).
One book I have been dying to read was VIII by H.M.Castor.
It was really good and well written.
The plot was about Henry VIII`s mental illness which I never considered. Castor said he has keep avoiding Henry and skirting round the web rather than focus on the spider in the middle and I realised I have too. It changed my perspective on his reign. The book went through his whole life, from when he was a little boy to when he dies. The main bit was about this boy Henry keep seeing a various points in his life with straw-coloured hair. This lead me to think of various things it could be, like his innocence slowly disappearing as he got older represented by a frail boy or one of the princes in the tower haunting him to remind him to the uneasy throne he sat on. I really enjoyed the book and would suggest it to anyone who wants a good read to understand Henry vIII more. I will be reading this again and again.
Work hard, go outside and read a book,
Love,
Lady of the Rivers x
