Monday. Receptionist back; service manager out. And he didn't make a schedule again.
Currently reading TO SHIELD THE QUEEN by Fiona Buckley. 1st of 23 in series featuring Ursula Blanchard, Lady-in-Waiting to Queen Elizabeth I.
Rumor has linked Queen Elizabeth I to her master of horse, Robin Dudley. As gossip would have it, only his ailing wife, Amy, prevents marriage between Dudley and the Queen. To quell the idle tongues at court, the Queen dispatches Ursula Blanchard to tend to the sick woman's needs. But not even Ursula can prevent the "accident" that takes Amy's life. Did she fall or was she pushed? Was Ursula a pawn of Dudley and the Queen? Suddenly Ursula finds herself at the center of the scandal, trying to protect Elizabeth as she loses her heart to a Frenchman who may be flirting with sedition against her Queen. She can trust no one, neither her lover nor her monarch, as she sets out to find the truth in a glittering court that conceals a wellspring of blood and lies.
Published 1997; 336 pages. This is a re-read but it's been so long, I don't remember much of the details. This is for scavenger hunt prompt: "Reread a book in a different format that your first read through. Or you can just reread however you want".
No sprints tonight.
Have a good day
Much love
