I LOVED The Pillars of the Earth & The World Without End! I forget which one I had with me when I last flew, but I ended up reading 3/4 of the book by the time we landed!

I haven't seen the movie The Other Boleyn Girl, but the book was good - inaccuracies and all. I love most of Phillipa Gregory's books, though.

I haven't read the book. But I actually didn't like the movie as much as I thought I would. To me I almost wish that Scarlett and Natalie has switched roles (that Scarlett had been Anne and Natalie had been Mary). To me, Natalie didn't bring the intensity that Anne needed and Scarlett, just made Mary so whiney, so I didn't feel sorry for her at all. Plus, I had been watching The Tudors when I finally saw OBG and I just LOVE The Tudors so I kind of kept comparing the movie to the show.


I have the book The Lady Elizabeth, which I want to start reading.
