Anyway, this week I received two books for review from Sourcebooks. I received the follow up to His Last Duchess by Gabrielle Kimm - Courtesan's Lover. This book follows one of the secondary characters from His Last Duchess following the events of the first book. I loved Kimm's writing style so I am looking forward to reading this one.
I also received Her Highness, the Traitor by Susan Higginbotham. This looks to be a story about how Jane Grey became queen - from the perspectives of Frances Grey and Jane Dudley. I am looking forward to this one too!
Did you receive any books this week?
Mailbox Monday is on a monthly blog tour and for the month of February it is hosted by Metroreader.

I'm definitely interested in reading "His Last Duchess" and will look forward to hearing your thoughts on the prequel (?). Here are my new acquisitions for the week: http://www.historicalfictionnotebook.com/2012/02/more-new-books.html
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely a sequel. The main character in The Courtesan's Lover leaves and goes to Napoli at the end of His Last Duchess. Courtesan's Lover is what transpires there.
DeleteI can't wait to hear what you think of the new Susan Higginbotham novel. It's one of my most anticipated reads of 2012.
ReplyDeleteI have only read one of Higginbotham's books so far - Queen of Last Hopes - but I really enjoyed that one. And this one looks to have such an interesting premise.
