The Tower
Here is 50% of the reason why I went to London. Ok I’m slightly exaggerating, but really, I am obsessed with it. After reading countless novels about King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn I was SOOO excited when I caught my first glimpse. I so wanted to see Anne Boleyn’s actual rooms, but alas, they were blocked off 
Do you like Philippa Gregory books?
Hi Sonya,
Yes that’s what got me hooked many years ago! I have read all of them except her new one
I haven’t been there in about 18 years but want to go again when the weather gets better. Such an iconic place.
I love novels set in that era. Try this one if you haven’t already read it – it is phenomenal.

Hi Helen,
Ohh thanks for the book rec, I haven’t read any by her yet!
That’s one place I didn’t get to last time I was in London, on the list for next year!

Oh hi Kelly, I have not read her new one either, I checked it out from the library and didn’t have time to read it and when I tried to renew it, it was already requested by another reader, so I think I am going to have to buy it. I went through a phase last fall where I read all of her stuff, do you like non-fiction books about Tudor England too?
Hi Sonya,
Yeah I like everything “Tudor”
Hmm, I have a few nonfiction titles at home, and I don’t know anyone else who would appreciate them. Would you be interested in them? I can email you the titles and authors.
Hi Sonya,
If you have time that would be great. But don’t worry too much, I have at least 40 books at home I still need to read and like 10,000,000 on my list!
