I have a few of em...like Memoirs of A Geisha *yes, it IS ficitional. the guy who wrote it used Iwasaki Mineko for his inspiration*, a book about Anna Comnena, a few of the Royal Diaries books, love em^_^, and I've read a few that I cannot name at this time as well. But I love em cause there is truth to these books alot of times, you can't just write a book without any fact you know=P These are fictional yes, but I just love reading em! Oh and the dear america series. I have two of them as well.

I have A LOT of the royal Dairies series and my personal faves are the one on Cleopatra, Anastasia Romanov, and another one I have I just can't remember. This series is out in the garage in a box cause I have no room for them but I think I'll pick them up and start reading them again. I think my last count of the ones I had was about 10 I think.
I think I have a Dear America book as well. I I'm not mistaken it's about a Vietnam Soldier. This too is out in the garage.
Why are most of the books I end of talking about stored in the garage? I can't believe the ones I actually like I decided to throw out in the garage. Somebody slap me for that.
Thats it I moving those books back in my room.

Ha, good for you^_~ Mine are in the attic, but they are ones I've outgrown! I've always wanted to read about Cleopatra and Anastasia! But I can't seem to find these books now T_T I have Marie Antoinette, Mary Queen of Scots, and Kristina the Girl King. I love all three of em, but I think my most fave is currently Kristina^_^ reminds me of myself. Not particularly girly, but more tomboyish. I guess that's what you get when you have her brought up like a prince rather than a girl^_~ I admire her actually....

Agreed^_~ Loved her story! It's too bad her Francis was so sickly, I quite liked him...and that one sick perverted man...ew, he sounded soo nasty^_~ I love how Mary is the youngest of all the royal diaries I own, so young yet so much older sounding..but it is sad how she is separated from her mother. At least she had Diana^_^ I do think she had a crush on that one guard fellow, *Robin McClean sp,I think his name is....or something, I forget exactly* ^_~

I forgot most of the book. But reading that I remembered a few things. What upset me is that I didn't find the series at Barnes and Noble. I looked for it in it's usual spot but it wasn't there. I think the series is no longer published. I have to check Borders for it then.

Lets not count our chickens before they hatch. B&N may not carry the series anymore but Borders still may I just haven't been able to go anywhere. And I won't for at least two more weeks.

Borders is like B&N and so much better. They restock more often then the B&N does here and they always have a decent selection. So they might still have the Royal Dairies.

I can go to the website and find the locations for some in ND for you.
Good news I found my series. It was in the garage. Now I need to put them on my bookshelf so I have some spring cleaning to do this weekend.

Well I'm sad to say that they are no longer carried. I'll cherish the ones I have.
