Cover Attraction | The Queen’s Mistake: In the Court of Henry VIII by Diane Haeger
I’m a very visual person and love beautiful, or interesting, cover art. It entices, and invites, me to stop and take a peek instead of walking right on by. This week’s Cover Attraction is:
Title: The Queen’s Mistake: In the Court of Henry VIII
Author: Diane Haeger
Release date: October ’09 (yesterday 10/6)
When young and beautiful Catherine Howard becomes the fifth wife of fifty year old king Henry VIII, she seems to be on top of the world. Yet her reign is destined to be brief and heartbreaking, as she is forced to do battle with enemies far more powerful and calculating than she could have ever anticipated in a court where one wrong move could mean her destruction. Wanting only love, Catherine is compelled to deny her heart’s desire in favor of her family’s ambition. But in so doing, she unwittingly gives those who seek to bring her down a most effective weapon, her own romantic past.
The Queen’s Mistake is the tragic tale of one passionate and idealistic woman who struggles to negotiate the intrigues of the court and the yearnings of her own heart.

I haven’t posted a historical fiction cover in a while as my Cover Attraction though I’ve been admiring this one since I first saw it several months ago. Also with the amount of historical fiction I’ve read over the last two years I haven’t read any by Diane Haeger so I should probably remedy that. And lastly I’ve come to realize that this is my absolute favorite royal family and court to read about so I’m betting that this will be on my Kindle quite soon (Jennifer – did that get your attention? 
). I’m really just wanting for some of those famous Amazon stars to start popping up.
What’s your favorite cover attraction this week? Don’t forget to leave a link to your Cover Attraction post.

Both the book and the cover are interesting (she does have a lovely dress…)
Here’s my cover attraction
She does have a lovely dress and why it’s posted today. Even though I’m not much a of a girly girl I’ve wanted to just once put on one of those beautiful dresses. I imagine they must weight a lot and getting into one a major production.
Wow, What a coincidence! My Cover attraction post is also from the historical fiction genre!

I haven’t tried historical fiction from that period yet, but everyone says I need to!
This is a lovely cover. I need to read more historical fiction.
Ah royalty, only makes sense that the cover should be so stunning!
Here is one that recently caught my attention: The Old Country.
I love that read. I felt sorry for all of Henry VIII’s wives.
One would think that wives 4, 5, and 6 would be well aware of their fate after wives 1, 2, and 3.
The cover art is gorgeous!
