I’m starting The Last Days of Henry VIII: Conspiracies, Treason, and Heresy at the Court of the Dying Tyrant by Robert Hutchinson.
“Henry VIII – ‘by the grace of God, King of England, France and Lord of Ireland, Defender of the Faith and the Church of England … on earth the Supreme Head’ – finally departed his long, troubled life, friendless and lonely, at around two o’clock in the morning on Friday 28 January 1547. The golden glory of his spry, gallant youth had years ago faded away and the radiant European prince of the Field of the Cloth of Gold in 1520 had decayed into a bloated, hideously obese, black-humoured old man, rarely seen in public during his last month.” (pg. 13 of 273)

Today I’m reading 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne.
“These two dimensions allow you to obtain, via a simple calculation, the surface area and volume of the Nautilus. Its surface area totals 1,011.45 square meters, its volume 1,507.2 cubic meters – which is tantamount to saying that when it’s completely submerged, it displaces 1,500 cubic meters of water, or weighs 1,500 metric tons.” (pg. 225 of 1,089 on Nook)

Today I’m reading Claire Dewitt and the City of the Dead by Sara Gran.
“Apparently Vic had been fascinated by the Indians too, or at least interested. I got a chair and looked on top of the bookshelf.” (pg. 31)

I’m starting Becoming Marie Antoinette by Juliet Grey today. Here’s your peek inside:
“The footmen inside the palace stood at attention, never lowering their gaze to acknowledge us. Their gold and black livery nearly shimmered in the highly polished parquet.” (pg. 16)

I took a few days off to spend time with my husband who is traveling almost non-stop in July. I think he’ll actually spend more time out of town and on planes than he will at our house this month. I thought I’d spend the couple days he was in town with him which is was why things were quiet here.
Getting back into things, I’m sharing a few lines from The Darling Strumpet by Gillian Bagwell this week.
“When the rehearsal was done, Nell sat still for a few moments, not wanting to let go of what she had experienced. She felt drained and yet exhilarated, and as if she was changed in some way.” (page 55 of 329 on Nook)
