Synopsis
Two sisters competing for the greatest prize: the love of a king
When Mary Boleyn comes to court as an innocent girl of fourteen, she catches the eye of Henry VIII. Dazzled by the king, Mary falls in love with both her golden prince and her growing role as unofficial queen. However, she soon realizes just how much she is a pawn in her family's ambitious plots as the king's interest begins to wane and she is forced to step aside for her best friend and rival: her sister, Anne. Then Mary knows that she must defy her family and her king, and take her fate into her own hands.
A rich and compelling tale of love, sex, ambition, and intrigue, The Other Boleyn Girl introduces a woman of extraordinary determination and desire who lived at the heart of the most exciting and glamorous court in Europe and survived by following her own heart.

Did we set a date for our next meeting? I have about 200 more pages to read.
No date is set yet...I only have about 100 pages left. It's such a good book. I'm really looking forward to finishing it.
I'm finished with the book and can meet anytime. I was also thinking that after our meeting we could all watch the movie The Other Boleyn Girl. What do you think?
Loved the book! Can't wait to talk about it. Yes, we should watch the movie....see how it compares.
I have the movie coming on my netflix this week. Should I wait and watch it.
I finished the book a couple of weeks ago and I am ready for our meeting (Hint - Lisa)! I miss not having a book to read every night before going to bed - can't wait to get our next book?
I'm ready for a new book too!! Lisa, when do you want to meet? Is anyone up for watching the movie?
I think I've selected a new book. Some have already read it, but I'd like to read it so... By the way, I'm down for watching the movie. I ended up not watching it. I'm saving it for Book Club.
I open to meeting whenever..... just sometime before mid July. I can do June 28 or 29 (next weekend) or July 5 or 6.
what do you guys think? I'm pretty much open :)
