Thanks for sharing your two historical favorites. You made The Other Boleyn Girl sound like a worthy read. Thanks.

Stephanie – I haven’t read Nefertiti, but I have heard good things about it in the past. It is on my wishlist, but I haven’t got a copy yet. Hopefully I’ll find a copy somewhere soon.

I too love The Other Boleyn Girl! Have you read the Egyptian historical fiction book Nefertiti by Michelle Moran? It’s just as fast paced as Boleyn and equally as good.

Heather – I only discovered the series last year, so I’ve only read the first two so far. I love them so much that I want to be able to enjoy them for as long as possible. I think I’m going to aim to read 1 a year – that should keep me going until the next one comes out!

I love Auel’s books! Her writing is so vivid, it’s hard to believe she wasn’t there to see it herself somehow! I read most of them, except the latest one (unless another has come out, I haven’t been keeping track). You’re right, they’re so big that once you stop it’s a little bit intimidating to get back into them.

Phillippa Gregory’s book is very popular at Shelfari. Most readers have raved about it. Thanks.
