Stacking the Shelves #35

 


Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by 
Reading Reality. It's a place to showcase any books I have purchased, borrowed, or been lucky enough to have been given an advance copy of. Hope you find something that looks interesting to you or that makes you remember a favorite book you need to finish. Enjoy your reading this week!



This is book one in a five book series on the Plantagenets but starting with Richard II, not Henry and Eleanor. I have book one and it ends with Henry V and Agincourt in book five. This author has a wonderful website, MercedesRochelle.com, which links to her books and to two other sites where she explores medieval history. I plan to surf it this week as the articles are interesting. I'm hoping to learn more through her books as I can't find many that focus on the late 1300's or early 1400's like these do.



On sale for Kindle this week for 99 cents....that's right! For a dollar you can get this one. I was so excited. I have not read her books but am always hearing they are great. She's another I feel I have to devote time to and also there are so many great looking books to choose from I don't know where to start. The covers are just gorgeous and the characters are fascinating historical subjects. If you haven't snagged your copy do it tonight.



Holland is another new to me author that I have been intending to try out because she has written such a wide, eclectic series of books with all kinds of historical subjects and settings. I'm always fascinated with Egypt, tombs, and pyramids. I love cozy mysteries set in the 1920's in Egypt and this is the novel version of the real life team of Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon who discovered King Tut's tomb. It is only $2.99 on Kindle so I bought it. I'm on Chapter 4 and can't put it down. I will definitely continue with her books after this one!
