History Favorites
Since I was little I’ve had a love for history. These past few years I’ve been more into it watching movies, shows, documentaries, and reading books. On social media I follow history pages where I made friends that recommended me movies, books shows, etc. that have now become my favorite. I am mostly into European history.
I love reading history books. My favorite history topics are biographies and stories about monarchs. My all time favorite series is the war of the roses by Philippa Gregory.
Favorite books:
The White queen- my all time favorite book, it's about Elizabeth Woodville. The wife and queen of Edward III.
The Lady of the rivers- The book is about Jacquetta Woodville, the mother of Elizabeth Woodville.
The white princess-About Elizabeth of York, Henry the VII wife.
The constant princess- The book is about Catherine of Aragon.
Gone with the wind- about Scarlett O’Hara and the civil war.
Three sisters, Three Queens- The book is about Margaret Tudor ( the Scottish queen), Catherine of Aragon, and Mary Tudor.
I still need to read the rest of the series of the war roses, she is a good author. Alison Weir is also a good author, she writes biographies about monarchs she gives and private details.
Current books I’m reading:
Victoria , The Queen by Julia Baird
Elizabeth of York by Alison Weir
Victoria the heart and mind of a young queen by Daisy Goodwin
The books I want to read are “ The Tudor Tutor” and “ In bed with the Tudors” .
