They're only 'based on' Philippa's books so they stray even more from historical accuracy but they're still entertaining...and vaguely educational.<br /><br />~DebDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658958620972494748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-47098439716831609472019-07-08T07:15:31.078-04:002019-07-08T07:15:31.078-04:00Yes, or TOO evil.

I do remember being really annoyed by a couple of the stories though, the way she had a couple characters as too TOO perfect.<br /><br />Have you watched the three shows based on her books? White Queen, White Princess, and Spanish Princess?<br /><br />~DebDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658958620972494748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-37382572405934163082019-07-07T18:06:04.802-04:002019-07-07T18:06:04.802-04:00I go through Philippa moods.

I think I have that one you are reading. She has a series too about a changeling that I picked up and need to read. <br /><br />I get not wanting to do much when it is super hot out. That is me pretty much the whole summer but I have to do things anyway or I will become The Blob.

It's been so hot and muggy here that I tend to just reach for my bubbly shooting game on my phone. It's a mindless alternative when it's too hot to think. :P<br /><br />(Ha, I realize you can mock me here about the heat the way I mock you about the cold. Oops.)<br /><br />~DebDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658958620972494748noreply@blogger.com
