And I haven't come up for air since. . .
That's right. . . No blogging. No facebook. No twitter. No emails (well, except for the 36 or so that begin, Your Barnes & Noble order has been successfully downloaded) because, you see, they didn't have all of these social media connections back in medieval England, and that's where I've been living.
In the High Middle Ages.
That was, until I entered the Renaissance.
Oh, I have read about every king, prince, bastard, and pretender to grace the Court of England since William the Conqueror. I can trace the lineage of every duke, duchess and earl in both the House of Lancaster and the House of York. I can name Henry the VIII's six wives backwards and forwards. I now know exactly what the Groom of the Stool was "privy" to. And I am waiting with bated breath for Philippa Gregory's newest book, One Queen, Two Queen, Red Queen, Blue Queen.
I would love to enlighten you all further, but I think my NOOK is now fully recharged. . .

Is that his new trilogy? It must be good if you're just now coming up for air! Did you read Pillars of the Earth and World Without End?
Enjoy, but don't stay gone so long next time!
A good book (whether real or electronic) is always a good excuse for me!
Oooh, my A level History syllabus. Loved it!
Your next book: WOLF HALL by Hilary Mantel.
I use to read all of the time and for some reason over the past few years....sadly my reading has waned. I received a Nook for xmas last year and loved the first few readings on it and then sadly put it down and have continued to not read. Puzzling as I use to have 2 books going all of the time. Hopefully this is just a phase. I read only about 6-8 books a year now. Maybe adult onset ADD???? Glad you are enjoying your nook...u have inspired me to try mine again. Thanks:)
