Joanna, The Notorious Queen of Naples, Jerusalem & Sicily by Nancy Goldstone Book Review

May 22, 2015 Moniek Bloks 0

I’ve had this book for a while now, and I even own a second book by this author, Four Queens, the Provencal Sister who ruled Europe. This book was originally released in 2010, so I guess I’m a bit late on my review, ha! Although there’s never a bad time to bring to light a Queen! Joanna of [read more]

The Forgotten Tudor Women by Sylvia Barbara Soberton Book Review

May 18, 2015 Moniek Bloks 0

Margaret Douglas, Mary Howard and Mary Shelton lived through the turbulent reigns of the Tudor monarchs, and one of them was even considered as a possible successor to the throne. However, they were mostly forgotten by history. Sylvia Barbara Soberton has written about them in ‘The Forgotten Tudor Women’ to remove them from the obscurity [read more]

April 19, 2015 Moniek Bloks 0

As you may remember, I reviewed part one of this book, England’s Queens from Boudica to Elizabeth of York, earlier this year. This second part came out just last month in the UK and is due to be released in the US next month. We begin with Catherine of Aragon, who’s first marriage to Prince [read more]

The Jezebel Effect by Kyra Cornelius Kramer Book Review

April 14, 2015 Moniek Bloks 0

The title of this book ‘The Jezebel Effect, why the slut-shaming of famous queens still matters’ grabbed my attention immediately. I knew the author’s name from another book she has written, and that is still waiting to be read in my bookcase, ‘Blood Will Tell: A Medical Explanation of the Tyranny of Henry VIII’. The [read more]

The Accidental Empress by Allison Pataki Book Review

March 30, 2015 Moniek Bloks 0

The story of Sisi still lives on today because of the many movies and books made about her. The Accidental Empress is one such book. Though it has a similar name to a biography of her, The Reluctant Empress, The Accidental Empress is actually a historical novel. I must admit that I don’t usually read [read more]
