Behind the Palace Doors: Five Centuries of Sex, Adventure, Vice, Treachery, and Folly from Royal Britain by Michael Farquhar, 307 pages


With all the hoopla over the wedding in Britain, this was a perfect time to read this book. This covers some of the misadventures of the British royal family starting with Henry VIII and working all the way up to the present queen, Elizabeth II. It's filled with lots of little chapters, making it a fun and light read. I've read the author's four other books and really enjoyed them, and this was just as fun. Nothing better than reading about the sex scandals of people who have been dead for centuries, lol.
