One of my new interests is Historical Fiction (books by Phillipa Gregory who wrote The Other Boleyn Girl). Now that I am just about finished with her series I have moved on to Marie Antoinette since I don't know much about her other than her name and she liked sweets. (History and Politics have always been my weak areas.) I did a search with my library (see 1st blog entry) and created a list of books and movies about her. I rented (from the library for free**) a recent movie titled "Marie Antoinette" staring Kirsten Dunst and while it wasn't full of informative historical facts it had amazingly vibrant colors and fabulous clothes. Check it out if you are into that sort of thing....cake, champagne, shoes and cool dresses that is.
**Aside from free DVD's from your local library here is a code for a free rental from Redbox per credit/debit card good until Monday, June 8 DEVRY6268
