Because some people's lives are better than soap operas!
I am absolutely obsessed with Philippa Gregory novels. My sister gave me a copy of “The Queen’s Fool," about a Spanish Jewess escaping the Inquisition in Queen Mary I's England, and then my mother-in-law lent me her copy of “The Other Boleyn Girl,” about those infamous Boleyn sisters and Henry VIII. (And no, the movie was not this good.) If this continues, I’m not going to get any kind of writing done this summer. And did I mention that I picked up copies of three of her other books? “The Virgin’s Lover,” "The Boleyn Inheritance” and “The Constant Princess” are next on my hit list.
When my husband asked “why the hell" I was buying so many books at Barnes & Nobles, I explained that I sheepishly explained that I had a coupon. No need to explain that I was emotionally cheating on my life with my latest addiction. Seriously, I can't leave the house while I'm reading these books. I can't get out of bed. I can't eat. (Okay, well I have a Book Chair and I eat in front of it.)
You know I’m a fan of vampires but lately, my hunger for historical fiction knows no bounds. Did I mention I actually picked up Philippa Gregory books INSTEAD of starting another vampire book, the first of the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris that my sister loves so much she's got every single one on her Kindle? And no, I won’t be watching the “True Blood” TV show based on the novels--I hear it’s too steamy for my blood.

I read somewhere that reading is antisocial behavior. But it feels so good!
What are you reading?
