The Other Boleyn Girl
I am extremely exhausted this morning. I had stayed up until 4am last night to finish reading The Other Boleyn Girl.

The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa GregoryRead more about this book… |
Let me tell you that it was very well written.
The story was about Mary Boleyn and her affair with King Henry. It also detailed the rise and fall of Anne Boleyn into her reign of queen.
I was shocked at all the information that was contained in this book. It is a really great way to learn about history. Yes, it is a historical fiction. The basic facts were all correct. The only reason why it would be considered fiction is due to the fact that there is no way of knowing for sure what people were saying or how they were behaving.
The people were believed to have acted that way. It was believed that they had done what the book said, but it is not 100% proven.
Anyway, I can’t wait to see the movie. I know that the movie stars Natalie Portman. So it should be pretty good.
i saw this book about a yr ago and wanted to get it, but at the last second saw another book I wanted, so I got that… and now Im sad b/c I want to read it. I saw they were making a movie with my favorite actress (Scarlet Johanson) so now Im mad cause I wanted to read it before I see the movie….
