Six Degrees of The Other Boleyn Girl

Posted on 6:00 AM by Unknown

It's time for another round of Six Degrees of!  This time you need to connect The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory and A Royal Likeness by Christine Trent by 6 degrees.

To reiterate the rules - in case you did not play last round.

1. I will give you two book titles and you have to come up with 4 more that fall in between those two that ultimately connect the first with the last (example will be provided below).

2. You can connect one word in the title to one word in the next title; one word in the title with a name of the author; name of the author with name of the author. You cannot, for example, connect Margaret George with Margaret George, but can connect Margaret George with Margaret Campbell Barnes.

3. The same word can only be used twice in a row.

4. Your answers do not all have to be from the historical fiction genre (but you can if you want to challenge yourself!)

Below (in red) is an example of a 6 degrees that works - connecting Helen of Troy by Margaret George to Royal Harlot by Susan Holloway Scott:

Helen of Troy by Margaret George
My Lady of Cleves by Margaret Campbell Barnes
Lady of the English by Elizabeth Chadwick
To Be Queen by Christy English
Queen of Last Hopes by Susan Higginbotham
Royal Harlot by Susan Holloway Scott

You can post your answers in the form below by Saturday - October 15th , I will post answers from those submitted and using Random.com select a winner from correct answers for a bookmark prize pack.

5. The King's Mistress by Emma Campion
6. Mistress of the Art of Death by Ariana Franklin

Answer 2:
1. The Forever Queen by Helen Hollick
2. The Queen’s Fool, Philippa Gregory
3. King’s Fool, Margaret Campbell Barnes
4. Elizabeth I, Margaret George
5. This Body of Death by Elizabeth George
6. Mistress of the Art of Death by Ariana Franklin

Answer 3:

3. Daughter of the Sky by Amanda Cockrell
4. The Marsh King's Daughter by Elizabeth Chadwick
5. Death of the Duchess by Elizabeth Eyre
6. Mistress of the Art of Death by Ariana Franklin

And the winner of the bookmark prize pack is...Teralyn Rose Pilgrim!
