A short and funny book imagining what happens when the Queen discovers a passion for reading. I laughed out loud as those around her struggled to make sense of her new obsession and she responds as only one devoted to books can. If you love to read, you no doubt have thought about books in much the same way.
At one point she thinks it would be fun to host a party for authors and realizes she would rather know them on the page vs. in real life. And she succinctly describes the difference between being briefed on a book and actually reading it. Here is a passage:
As a reader she was brisk and straightforward; she didn't want to wallow in anything. (p.71)
I completely relate - that's my kinda Queen.
This book is a quick, lively and witty. And it is a good fit for a purse ;)
Happy Reading!
The End.
