seen it twice, loved it! did you see that it's getting the 'Chicago' treatment, full cinematic movie?
Same! And no I didn't - that has the potential to be excellent!

Did you know that if you utter the words "Tudor History Nerd" you will summon TRB in a puff of smoke and she'll deliver a lecture about how Ann Boleyn is the most misunderstood woman in history or something.
You called?
For the record, I do a pretty good "Katherine Parr was a screaming badass" lecture too.
Glad your son enjoyed himself QT! One of us, one of us, one of us....
Ha! Amazing.
Hey so now that I want to know more…but in a fiction/novel way…Allison Weir or Phillipa Gregory?
Both for different reasons. Gregory is the better novelist, though take her work with a pinch of salt in terms of historical accuracy. I really enjoy her
The Other Boleyn Girl for what it is whilst recognising it's Anne is a demonised caricature and that she's gone down the sensationalist debunked route in places.
Weir is a historian through and through so takes on such liberties (except on the occasions where there is no real record to go on), but her Six Tudor Queens series gets stronger as it goes along.
