Another Fortnight almost here...ABC Challenge: J


Featuring the Letter

J 
 My read for this fortnight is Jean Plaidy's EXCELLENT novel: Louis The Well Beloved.  
 
This one is the first book in her French Revolutions Series.  It takes a look at Louis XV's life from early childhood to the brewing of the Revolution.  We also get to read about his early relationship with La Pompadour (oh-la-la!).  I devoured this book and look forward to reading the next one of this series: Road to Compiegne.

    I've just finished Uneasy lies the Head but my knowledge of Plaidy is limited to just two books. The writing is fabulous and I just want to read more.

    Hi Marg- Yes, you used to read alot of Plaidy at one point-you definitely have to get back to reading her:)

    Hi Mystica- If you loved that one, the series follows into the other characters'lives. I agree it's fabulous writing.
