Freebie Friday: 'Becoming Queen Victoria'

Happy Friday, everybody! It looks like it's going to be another scorcher for Artscape weekend, so maybe you'd rather laze about with a book and a cool drink instead? I know I will.

And I actually just got on the bandwagon and picked up "The Lost City of Z," by David Grann. Yeah, I know I'm a few years behind, but there are so many books out there to be read!

For instance, John will have Olivia Munn's "Suck It, Wonder Woman," to enjoy, as he is this week's winner. Congratulations, John!

Our next book is historical, rather than fantastical: Kate Williams' "Becoming Queen Victoria." The book begins with the life of Princess Charlotte, the woman who was meant to become queen before her death during childbirth meant the crown passed to Victoria.

By starting so early in the young woman's life, Williams is able to give a full account of the intrigue surrounding the battle for succession, and how the country reacted to the uncertain times.

So let us know what you're reading, and it could be yours!
