I love history books too! I have read tons and tons of books about the Tudors in the 1500s, from all of Henry the VIII's wives and some of his children. It was really cool to be able to see the same story from, like, 7 perspectives. I started with The Secret Diary of Anne Bolyn (Elizabeth I's mother), then moved to the Constant Princess (Catherine of Aragon, Henry's first wife, and the mother of Bloody Mary), then I, Elizabeth (about, guess who? Elizabeth!)then one about Mary Queen of Scotts, One about Lady Jane, one about Bloody Mary, and a few more that I can't think of right now. What was fun was seeing the same players mentioned in each book but depending on who was narrating, they would be portrayed as evil. Like I was sympathetic to Anne Bolyn when I was reading her "diary", but when I was reading about her from Catherine of Aragon's point of view I tended to think of her as a bitch
