I finished a book!

A book for grown-ups at that! I haven't been able to do that in a while. Quite a while. Well, with all the Suess and Carle floating around in my bookcase, you know?


Anyway, I am such a sucker for historical fiction. You know it really happened- you had to memorize all the dates in history class- but the author fills in the juicy details. This one kept me up way past my bedtime several nights, and trust me- sleep isn't something I take for granted!

It's about Lady Jane Grey, better known as "The Queen of England for Nine Days".
Related to Henry VIII, cousin to queen Elizabeth. Beheaded for treason.
Good stuff.
