Hey Caitlin- what do you think of those Royal Diaries books? I've been looking at books about important women in history, and while scanning the books that you & Jex have read, the one on Eleanor of Aquitaine especially caught my attention.

And, while I'm asking, what did you think of Thirteen Reasons Why? It looks like a good book, but I'm worried it might be a bit too depressing and with too little levity to be a good read for me.

There okay books, but some are better then others. The Eleanor one is one of my favorites, it only covers a brief period of time but at the end it does tell you all of what happens to them or what is thought to of happen to them in the case of Anastasia.

Thirteen Reasons Why is an odd book, you feel so bad and so depressed but at the same time you want to hit the girl who committed suicide, but it does really make you think of all the little things you do to people and how badly something that seems so small to you is huge to them. But over all I do recommend it.
