In other news, Ana recently reviewed Rosanne E Lortz's novel I Serve: A Novel of the Black Prince. Rosanne also guest posted for us, and now she has just announced that her book trailer is complete, and Ana's review has been quoted as part of the trailer! Well done Ana, and well done to Rosanne!
That's awesome Ana! So cool!
ReplyDeleteI have read Wolf Hall, and it is seriously awesome. If you are at all interested in The Tudors, it is a must read.
ReplyDeleteI am interested, but also feel as though I need to really set some time apart without any other reading commitments to give it the attention it needs!
