Hey Mikaela,
THis book sounded interesting. I didn't know that about
Lady Jane Grey....That Henry hadn't had her killed, someone else did. SO glad not to have been one of HIS wives!
Only minor suggestion...CAPITALIZE PROPER NOUNS! And the first letter of a sentence. Beyond this, keep up the good work.
ciao for now....
