I have always loved history, but like you, it was not always history that I was interested in. We should be teaching about great men AND women, which I think is being remedied much more quickly now. I wish I had learned about Eleanor of Aquitaine a long time ago.<br /><br />I have heard quite a bit about The Last Summer and I am thinking I will have to get around to reading it. It has been featured so many times, there must be something to it.<br /><br />Happy Saturday!Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-81693713597359116192017-12-02T16:44:19.149-06:002017-12-02T16:44:19.149-06:00Happy Saturday Erin, thanks for coming by!Happy Saturday Erin, thanks for coming by!Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-89116107348736849082017-12-02T16:43:42.543-06:002017-12-02T16:43:42.543-06:00Thanks Nicole, me too.

The women were only included based on who they were married to (the six wives of Henry VIII) or who their parents were (the two daughters of Henry VIII). It's great to see some books showing the other side of history.<br /><br />I'm sharing from The Last Summer by Brandy Bruce on my blog today. Great book!<br /><br />I'm currently reading Out of the Ordinary by the always-witty Jen Turano. Here's the (long) opening line:<br /><br />Slipping through the crowd gathered on the upper deck of a most extravagant yacht, Miss Gertrude Cadwalader drew in a breath and adopted an air of what she hoped would be taken for nonchalance.<br /><br />With a start like that, I'm expecting another winner!Iolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199141868703826943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-18279766397605434782017-12-01T13:14:10.360-06:002017-12-01T13:14:10.360-06:00Happy Friday!
