Yep, I've got it and like it very much, though, not quite as much as the Alison Weir or the Carolly Erickson. *grin* If there's an Elizabeth book out there that I haven't read...well, I'd like to know of it. Before I portrayed the part, I read everything I could get my hands on and then sort of wove my way down the middle of everyone's opinions.
Funny thing is that I only read up to the point that I was portraying her as I didn't want to know "my own future history" so to speak. For the same reason, I didn't watch any of the Elizabeth movies; I wanted my own interpretation and didn't want to be influenced. So when I finally visited Westminster and saw the placard for Raleigh outside the entrance, I nearly threw a public fit out of pique over James. ::shakes head at self::
