I've had a productive two weeks book buying wise! I treated myself to the Dance with Dragons books with some babysitting money and it was £7 for the two in Asda's so I really couldn't go wrong with the price. I've read the book but it was my brother's hardback version, and so I've now completed my little collection of his books that are upto date. I bought The White Queen for 50p in a charity store. I haven't read any of Philippa Gregory's books and have heard mixed reviews about her books but I love historical fiction so will just have to wait and see and judge for myself. I wandered into Waterstones and saw the Elizabeth I book. I have wanted this book for a while now but amazon never seem to have it in stock even though its a new book. I love Margaret George's books and knew I had to have it! It is such a pretty book cover wise. There was also a buy one get one half price deal on so picked up The Song of Achilles. I love Greek mythology so hopefully it'll be good! Remember, Remember was 99p for kindle so it was as cheap as chips!

Her Cleopatra book is one of my favourite books but her Helen of Troy book is also amazing.
