Here is a website I found that might prove useful: Bibliography of the Borgia Family. It's not exhaustive but there's a good amount of stuff there.

Original Sources: Burckard's diaries

You're welcome, Christine. I was able to fit your title, but I didn't have room to credit F. Scott Fitzgerald for the quote.

cheekymonkey503

F. Scott Fitzgerald doesn't have a short name either, I'm surprised you fit the quote TBH

BL.Arinna_1982

Soooooo, what historical book have you read lately?

Nikki K

That's a really good title, Christine & Alex.

BL.Arinna_1982

From what book is that title though?

Nikki K

I think it's by Daniel Pennac from "Comme un roman"... the English translation was "The Rights of the Reader".

BL.Arinna_1982

The recent series I've watched made me think of "The Borgias". The series is "Flowers in the Attic". Makes me wonder if the writer of the books thought of Cesare and Lucrezia while writing it? Or maybe the Borgias family as a whole? What do you guys think?

CityGal

Thanks for the new thread.

Thanks for bumping this up, Arinna.

Nikki K

I think all my reviews etc. are in the first thread but the screencaps are surely messed up because of bloody Photobucket. Urgh. Thanks for finding it though, Alex.

PhoenixRising

You're welcome, Nina. And the links for the first two threads are in the OP, so if you wanna check it out you can. Funny, the pic in this OP is intact but the one in the first thread is blocked by photobucket. I can't remember if Jade made us the new one or not.

Nikki K

No, those are all my pics and I had them hosted on Photobucket but I refused to pay for it so all my pics in the OPs I transfered over to a new file hoster when they got greedy, so that our OPs wouldn't be broken. Obviously I can't do anything about closed threads and it's not worth the trouble I guess. Also lots of pictures I have no nerve replacing now. The OPs were the most important thing.
