A collection of books from Deborah909

It took quite some time but I finally took advantage of a few days off at really dug into this and it did not dissappoint. A review I read somewhere noted that Fraser is just in love with Mary Stuart and I tend to agree. This is a substantial and detailed work (although I still felt my lack of overall knowledge of the period at times) but Fraser does find it hard to ever find fault in Mary. She is a tragic figure, for sure, but this sets her up as sometimes a bit of plaster saint. It was a long read, clocking in at over 600 pages, but I'm glad I persevered. I was most moved by the epilouge, that despite the tragedy of her life, Mary Queen of Scots is the actual mother of the English royal family with a direct line of descent straight down to the current Queen. So despite, her long and ultimately fatal struggle to assure her place in the succession, she was the one who did win out.

Planned for release to work book sharing shelf

Planned for release at February 2018 Boston Bookcrossers Meetup

Orphaned at the meetup. Looks interesting, but I'm really trying to reduce Mt. TBR so will probably re-release.

Bringing to brunch at a local bookcrosser's house. Hope it finds a new reader! I did take this at a recent meetup to wild release, but never did, so giving it one more try at a meetup!
