I really enjoyed these books, its really amazing how the author writes them in a fictional way then just boring history. like i never even heard of some of these things until i read these books! quite fascinating! has anyone else read them? and the movies are great too!

I love The Other Boleyn Girl, it is an awesome book, the movie skipped a lot though, they didn't even show that Mary had Cathrine.

I had heard a bit about the Tudors b4 i read the Other Boleyn Girl, but it really interested me. I've read books by Carolyn Meyer, Beware, Princess Elizabeth, Doomed Queen Anne, and I'm reading Mary, Bloody Mary right now. Great books.

Doomed Queen Anne has the order of the Boleyn's; Mary, Anne, and then George though.

I would never say History is boring, but 'The Other Boleyn Girl' takes an interesting approach and lures you into it, I love both the books and the movie.

"The Queen's Lover" and "The Queen's Fool" are both by the same author and are both really good. I've read all four books and they were awesome. I'm now reading a biography about Queen Elizabeth I.

The boelyn inheritnace is like the next chapter after the the other boleyn girl, it tells the story of the next two queens. Anne of Cleves and Katherine howard. and it also follows jane boleyn (goerge boelyns wife) its really good! i kinda like it better than the other boleyn girl. i really wanna read all phillipa greagory's books! they all sound really good and the boleyn inheritnace is in production right now. so cant wait to see when that comes out! and the tudors series, i seen some of the episodes. its ok but the guy who plays king henry is so ugly! ugh. they should have had eric bana! lol

I know it's historical fiction, but they're so inaccurate.
Reading them bothers me. D:

To be honest, I didn't even know this was a series until after the movie came out. I wanted to see the movie and I still have yet to; and I wish to read the books soon, too.
