I like to use this blog page to leak out information about myself from time to time. One thing that many people do not know about me is that I am a big nerd. I love to read.I did not use to like to, but may be that was because I was in school, and I was forced to read all the time. However, now I can do it for fun and there will not be a test afterwards:) My favorite books are historical fiction. King Henry VIII and his wives interest me the most. I think that is why I love The Other Boleyn so much.My latest book I read in which, I finished last night was The Duchess. This was a hard book for me to get into. I think the Duchess of Devonshire was an amazing person, but also her life was tragic to me. This book has a lot of politics in it, something that is hard for me to grasp so I think that is why I had trouble at times.If anyone gets a chance to read it let me know what you think. If you don't get a chance that's okay, but someday read The Other Boleyn this is an amazing book.
Some of the Books and Authors I have read are listed below. Feel free to leave comments on book you recommend. Also leave children's books. I like to share this passion with my children as much as possible.

Well, I guess I'm a nerd too then! I love to read and really love historical fiction. I can not wait to get my hands on The Duchess. Right after I read your blog I saw the preview for the movie coming out, I had not heard of it before. I'll have to check The Other Boleyn out too, I think I remember Christy talking about the movie! Hope to see you soon.
