This week I chose:"Cleopatra Confesses"
by Carolyn Meyer
Simon & Schuster
Release Date: June 7, 2011
The following description is from goodreads.com:
It is the first century B.C. Cleopatra, the third of the pharaoh's six children, is the one that her father has chosen to be the next queen of Egypt. But when King Ptolemy is forced into exile, Cleopatra is left alone to fend for herself in a palace rife with intrigue and murder. Smart, courageous, ambitious and sensuously beautiful, she possesses the charm to cause two of history's most famous leaders to fall in love with her. But as her cruel sisters plot to steal the throne, Cleopatra realizes there is only one person on whom she can rely--herself.
I love reading about Cleopatra! And Carolyn Meyer's historical books are so good, this one is sure to be amazing!
