I'm assuming at this point her most popular is her Tudor series that has been made into the STARZ miniseries The White Queen and The White Princess. I was just curious if anyone here has read the series and if it's worth the read?

I like those series and didn't even realize they were based on books.

Aspy is right.

BB loves this shite.

I've read a bunch of her stuff. I definitely recommend it.

Any one in particular that you're interested in? I can try to refresh my memory.

And yes, she writes Margaret Beaufort that annoying in the books b/c she really was that annoying.

Margaret George has some really good historical fiction books too. Probably a little better IMO.

Really, the Cousins' War Series since that's apparently what the STARZ miniseries are based upon. I'd probably start there and branch out if I really enjoyed them.

Will have to check her out as well. I've been looking for some more historical fiction.

I highly recommend her as an author. I read a lot of her novels years ago and recently started reading again in chronological order. I have enjoyed them as much the second time as I did the first.

Here is the order for the Plantagenet and Tudor novels from her FB page:

The Lady of the Rivers
The White Queen
The Red Queen
The Kingmaker's Daughter
The White Princess
The Constant Princess
The King's Curse
Three Sisters, Three Queens
The Other Boleyn Girl
The Boleyn Inheritance
The Taming of the Queen
The Queen's Fool
The Virgin's Lover
The Last Tudor (to be released 8 August)
The Other Queen

My personal favorites are The Lady of the Rivers, The Other Boleyn Girl and The Queen's Fool
