Do you have Showtime? The new series "The Tudors" is amazing. Well, of course Jonothan Rhys-Meyers is a hottie, who, self-admittedly bears NO resemblance to H8, it is a really juicy, beautifully done foray into the early years of H8's rule, specifically his break with the Church and Anne Boleyn.
I am an anglophile and make no excuses.....  |
I'm loving the Tudors and it has nothing to do with the hottie king who always has his shirt off and some rock hard nipples... um... ahem... well this is awkward.
I've never been so happy for the free 6 months of Showtime in my life yay for being a new cable subscriber.

And it has nothing to do with the firmly carved upper lip and constant glisten to his shirtless torso. The piercing blue eyes really do nothing for me.  Nah. Not so much. I need a moment alone now.
OMG!!! He is one sexy beast!!

I love to read Philippa Gregory and about all things Tudor, too!
I will be starting David Baldacci's latest, Simple Genius tomorrow. I always have three books going; a hardback for bedtime, a paperback in my purse, and one for reading aloud to my mom. My current paperback is Traitor, by Stephen Coonts, and S Is For Silence, by Sue Grafton for reading aloud. My uncle & I share thrillers (Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, etc), but my mother prefers "nice, clean murders"(!). I like thrillers & historical fiction best, and the occasional mind candy. I seriously considered subscribing to Showtime just to see The Tudors, but I'm sure it will go to dvd somewhat soon. At least, I hope so!!
Reading my Bible goes without saying.

Nothing but textbooks lately...
Well, I've been slowly burning through the Jack Ryan series by Tom Clancy. Cardinal of the Kremlin has been being read 2-3 pages at a time since the beginning of the semester

you get my brownie points for the day. i've admired eleanor of aquitaine since i had to pretend to be her in fifth grade when we researched and performed as an historical persona. what a woman, i mean really. queen (twice!), head of huge territorial holdings that were coveted by all and snatched by none, went off on the crusades, patroness of the arts, strong, feisty, unconventional, and all while living in the middle ages. she blows my mind.

I just finished "Traitor" by Steven Coonts which I picked up at a community-wide garage sales last week for a quarter.
Coonts is a former Denver resident and Vietnam era Naval Avaitor.

That's my all-time favourite Jodi Picoult book. I've read most of her work-she's kind of hit or miss. Some of it is awesome and some is really had to get into. The Whale's Song (I think it's called) is set in the town next to mine. I really want to get 19 Minutes, her latest book.
Right now I am reading total crap. I'm re-reading my teenage horse novels because I've run out of things to read and have no time for the library or the bookstore. I'm also working on the Sword of Shannara which I stole from my boyfriend on a whim. It's okay, nothing special.

Currently I'm reading Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married, A Supreme Conflict, and The Alexandria Link. I usually read two or three books a week on the bus and before bed.
