The book is a gift from my aunt and guardian, it is a real tableau of life in the Elizabethan court with intrigue, love affairs and of course, politics. It's full of facts and anecdotes, but has never bored me.

I'm using my online degree course as part of my every day self care.
Ackroyd's Death of King Arthur is waiting on my shelf, haha I haven't read anything by this author yet, but I hope I'll enjoy it as well.

Besides, for birthday I got loads of books from my friends. Mary Beard's SPQR (yay!), Graves's Claudius and Messalina and Zafon's The Shadow of the Wind.
