| Philippa Gregory Last month I read The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory and I it. I thought she did a great job integrating the history with the fiction. Now I can't wait to read The Queen's Fool. Has anybody else read her novels? Leave your reaction here ![]() __________________ "Did you seriously just stamp your foot?

| I've seen her books in my local library and had thought about getting one and reading it, but I wasn't sure that I would like it since I'd never heard anything about it. But if it's good, then I may just have to give it a look. ![]() __________________ Youth fades, but immaturity lasts a lifetime. | |||

| The Other Boleyn Girl is fantastic! I've read a few of her other ones, The Queen's Fool and The Virgin's Lover, but I didn't like those as much as the first. Has anyone read her Meridion series? Is that the name of the series or just one of the books? __________________ Time for some thrilling heroics. | |||

| I'd love to see The Other Boleyn Girl made for television or even a full-length film. __________________ Time for some thrilling heroics. | |||

| TOBG was made for British television (BBC) as a miniseries just a year or two ago and they're actually in the process of casting for a full-length feature film with rumours of Keira Knightley playing either Anne or Mary. I liked TOBG but haven't read too much of the rest of Gregory's work. Any recommendations? __________________ | |||

| I read The Other Boleyn Girl over the summer and liked it. I'm thinking of picking up another of her books when I get the chance. __________________ one perfect partner | |||

| I've read The Other Boleyn Girl and saw only a bit of the tv production. I've also read The Queen's Fool. I'll have to check out The Virgin's Lover. __________________ Honey I just can't get around it anymore You make me feel like home is where you are Avi Credit:orsi | |||
