I am a bit a history nut so here are my fav biographies that are often round or in my bed.
Louis XIV - Love and Louis XIV by Antonia Fraser - breaktaking and makes me want to go to Versailles - also would recommend her Marie Antoinette The Journey as well (what the recent movie was based on).
The Mitford Girls by Mary S Lovell - amazing true story about the 6 sisters and also am rereading Love in A Cold Climate by the eldest the great Nancy - very very funny book about eccentric English families in roaring twenties.
Emile Zola Nana - a novel but if you saw Moulin Rouge this is a v similar story - it is a classic but he is so easy to read. Very haunting ending.
Elizabeth Behind Palace Doors by Nicholas Davies - I can dip in and out of this is fab hard to resist the gossseeeeeep. Lots of juicy stuff that even my mum didnt know about.
You can probably see a theme to my reading - basically love anything in 18 - 20 centuries to do with high society esp if French.
I am a bit obsessed with the royalty I found myself on Wikiapedia actually checking to see whether I was in line to our throne or knew anyone who was har har.
Enjoy
