Books I Read in September

[powerofthebook]

Because I might as well attempt to catch up...the books aren't any less good or bad because of my tardiness.

Philippa Gregory, why couldn't I quit you? I suppose it's because I hadn't read this book so far. Gregory had previously done an excellent job of world-building - the historical personages she used were actually interacting - not just watching the greats of the age maneuver. For this, I managed to swallow back my extreme irritation at the madonna-whore classifications of all women in her books. Now, it's like she's not putting any effort into it anymore. She's simply narrating history back as it arrives in letters and communications to her women characters. Boring.

Nods. She's just treading water these days.

It's really disappointing - though I guess she's made enough on TOBG to be able to do that.

I've spent too much time reading Phillipa Gregory. I need to quit her too; good timing!

both the gypsy book and the Gilded Chamber sound really interesting. Might have to check those out!

Philippa Gregory is a bit like hunting deer with a corn feeder. Sure, you get what you were going there for, but you feel kind of unsatisfied by the whole experience.

But the other books were great!
