By hook or by crook I MUST have this book :)
Philippa Gregory is a must read author for me - I have all her books and have been waiting on tenterhooks for this new series to come out. If I am not successful here - I will be buying it :)
Everything I read about this author is glowing and rave reviews. I'd love to see what the hype is all about. Historical fiction is so wonderful anyways.
Please enter me in the drawing.

This is a period of English history that I would love to learn more about, and I know Philippa Gregory would teach me in a very interesting way! Please enter me in your drawing.

I love reading and learning about most time periods, but am especially interested in English royalty. I've read the other Gregory books and would love to travel to a period leading up to Henry VIII.
You are in the draw- Melissa Carol and Booklogged
I cannot wait to get my hands on this book! Please enter me :)
I usually prefer authors who stick more to the known facts, but for PG I always keep coming back because she is the one who first got me interested in hist-fic with The Other Boleyn Girl, and now it's mostly the only genre I read (and it's my blog's subject too)! I've read all her Tudor era books; can't wait to read her Plantagenet series as well! Thanks for hosting.
I'd love to win this book. I've read other books by this author and really enjoyed them. Thanks for the opportunity!

I've been waiting for this book to come out! I've been fascinated with Elizabeth Woodville since I worked on a production of Shakespeare's Richard III.
