The Boleyn Inheritance by Philippa Gregory – NKOTB – what I’m reading

I’ve been putting off writing my review of The Boleyn Inheritance by Philippa Gregory; I finished it last Thursday (May 8th). I think I was hoping that my opinion would improve.

“Eats, Shoots and Leaves” Lynne Truss

Yes, that’s right, 5 Stars for a book about proper punctuation. I fully expected to get through this book only for my 2008 Challenges. In my mind’s eye I saw myself reading a page or two and then falling sound asleep from boredom. I could not have been more wrong.
