Books from the Backlog is a fun way to feature some of those neglected books sitting on your bookshelf. You might be surprised by some of the unread books hiding in your stacks.

This seems like a fun feature and I have been planning to take part since Carole launched this so at last, here we go! I have a TON of unread books to choose from in various genres and I'm looking forward to sharing some of them with everybody.
1537. As the year to end all years rolls to a close, King Henry VIII vents his continuing fury at the pope. The Holy Roman Church reels beneath the reformation and as the vast English abbeys crumble the royal coffers begin to fill. The people of the north, torn between loyalty to God and allegiance to their anointed king, embark upon a pilgrimage to guide their errant monarch back to grace. But Henry is unyielding and sends an army north to quell the rebel uprising. In Yorkshire, Katheryn Lady Latimer and her step-children, Margaret and John, are held under siege at Snape Castle ... The events at Snape set Katheryn on a path that will lead from the deprivations of a castle under siege to the perils of the royal Tudor court. Intractable Heart is the story of Henry VIII's sixth and final wife.
I've enjoyed other Tudor/War of the Roses books written by this author so I need to make the effort to get this one read too. I can never get enough of books about Henry VIII and his wives!
Kathryn Parr is such an interesting person. I'm just sorry she didn't have a happier life.
ReplyDeleteYep, surviving Henry only to be betrayed by her new husband! This also seems to be looking at her life pre-Henry so that should be fun.
DeleteI love the cover! I need to read more books from the Tudor period and this looks like a good one!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy all the scandal and intrigue at the Tudor Court!
DeleteI've not tried this author and I need to read some genres I usually don't get to.
ReplyDeleteI've certainly enjoyed what I've read of her work so far. I sort of stumbled across her by accident on Amazon a few years back!
DeleteWow, how sad to be betrayed by her new hubby. Ughhh, I want to read this tho.
ReplyDeleteMary
I do enjoy a good Tudor novel!
DeleteThis sounds interesting. I have read a few books about King Henry VIII and enjoyed them so I should try some more at some point.
ReplyDeleteI've got loads of them unread on my bookshelves that I need to get reading!
