I just was given The Other Boleyn Girl and I'm not sure I want to read it.  It just seems so dry to me. Has anyone read it?

Oh, it's not dry at all!  It's wonderful!  I'd never read anything of hers, either.  Now, she's a favorite author.

Cute bichons, by the way!

Thanks Penny, so is yours cute....what kind; I can't tell.  Doberman??

she's great and that book is fantastic!  def. give it a try

I agree. I loved the book and have started collecting her others

That is the only one I've read of hers so far and I love it!  I'm waiting for The Boleyn Inheritance which I am really looking forward to.  I also have a few others in my TBR pile.

Thanks everyone for your opinion.

Yep, she's a Doberman.

The sequel, The Boleyn Inheritance, is quite good, too!

The Other boleyn Girl is on its way to me so now I am psyched about this thread.

I love the doberman.  I grew up with them and yours reminds me of our first.  Vorman.  She was the best dog in the world and we have had a few before and after her.  Looking at your pic makes me want to talk high pitched.  lol

First, I love everyone's pups! :)  Had to change my avatar to my youngest (she's 10 years!) pup. 

I have mixed feelings about Gregory's books - I liked The Other Boleyn Girl and The Boleyn Inheritance, I was lukewarm over most of The Queen's Fool, but I absolutely loathed what I read of The Virgin's Lover.  I couldn't even get past the first chapter of that one before I listed it here for someone to take off my hands.

Marci; with all the hype about these books, I tried to read one of them, don't remember which one, and just didn't like it, so I posted it and it was gone right away.  Now I have The Other Boylan Girl and will try it.  I will post it after I'm done, so if any one of you want me to post to your shelf, let me know.

I also love all the pups pictures.  My Bichons absolutely own us!!!     Let's see more pics....;)

I've read The Other Boleyn Girl and The Queen's Fool.  I really, really enjoyed the first and merely liked the second.

She has quickly become one of my favorite authors as well.  Nothing dry about it.  I have now read 4 of her books and loved every one.

I've been reading PG for about 10 years.  I read The Wise Woman at a friend's house out of sheer boredom, and absolutely loved it.  The Other Boleyn Girl is possibly my favorite of her books.  It's not remotely dry.  Definitely give it a try!

Oh - I tried the the Wideacre trilogy.  Rubbish (IMO).  Passed it along to someone who would enjoy it.  It wasn't my cuppa. :)

I got The Other Boleyn Girl as a gift and I ended up giving up on it after a few pages and posting it here. I like historical fiction and have read a lot of it, especially when I was younger, including quite a few books set in Tudor England. Maybe because of that, it just didn't seem very interesting to me, and I didn't think much of the writing (the tone seemed anachronistic).

I want to start reading her books, but I have  no idea which order to read them in? Any suggestions?

I love her books!

I read A Respectable Trade and loved it!  She's a wonderful writer.  I have several of her books on my WL....I say read it.

The Other Boylen Girl was my favorite of hers. Right now I'm reading The Virgin Queen and just can't get into it.  

I'll be posting The Other Boylen after I read it.  Does anyone here have it on their WL?

Yesterday there was one Other Boylen Girl in the system, and now there are 5 wishers for the version I have.  Thanks for starting this topic.  I guess I'll have to put that one at the top of my TBR pile.

The first one I read was The Other Bolyen Girl.  I really enjoyed it and flew through it.  Then I moved on to The Virgin's Lover and it was a struggle to finish it.  I just didn't find it engaging or interesting at all.  I recently finished The Bolyen Inheritance.  While I didn't love it as much as TOBG it was pretty good.  I have A Respectable Trade wishlisted... we'll see how I like it.
