- AMANDA FOREMAN

Drawing on Queen Victoria's diaries, which she first started reading when she was a student at Cambridge University, Daisy Goodwin--creator and writer of the new PBS Masterpiece drama Victoria and author of the bestselling novels The American Heiress and The Fortune Hunter--brings the young nineteenth-century monarch, who would go on to reign for 63 years, richly to life in this magnificent novel.

Early one morning, less than a month after her eighteenth birthday, Alexandrina Victoria is roused from bed with the news that her uncle William IV has died and she is now Queen of England. The men who run the country have doubts about whether this sheltered young woman, who stands less than five feet tall, can rule the greatest nation in the world.

Despite her age, however, the young queen is no puppet. She has very definite ideas about the kind of queen she wants to be, and the first thing is to choose her name.

"I do not like the name Alexandrina," she proclaims. "From now on I wish to be known only by my second name, Victoria."

Next, people say she must choose a husband. Everyone keeps telling her she's destined to marry her first cousin, Prince Albert, but Victoria found him dull and priggish when they met three years ago. She is quite happy being queen with the help of her prime minister, Lord Melbourne, who may be old enough to be her father but is the first person to take her seriously.

On June 19th, 1837, she was a teenager. On June 20th, 1837, she was a queen. Daisy Goodwin's impeccably researched and vividly imagined new book brings readers Queen Victoria as they have never seen her before.

Cooling Blanket is a sleep saver for me!
This is the second product I have used from bedsmile and as with the other one, this is a great product! It truly is a cooling blanket. I am a very hot sleeper and live in a hot, humid climate, so this has been a sleep saver for me! One side is silky smooth and feels so good on your skin. The other side has a texture to it which is great if you want to use it as your only bedding, which I do. It covers well and hangs over the edges as it should. I ordered the white one and it is bright and unblemished. The silky side magically feels much cooler than typical bedding and keeps me cooler during the night. It is lightweight but heavy enough to make you feel that you are "under the covers". In my opinion, putting additional covers over it would defeat the purpose but if you live in a cooler climate, it would still be beneficial to use this blanket as the silky coolness would help get a good night's sleep anywhere. Another great benefit of this product is that it does not have any strange odors when unpacking. I did wash it before using, but honestly, I am not sure it was necessary.

Incredible Value - Soft, Stays in Place, and Military Son Approved!
Size: California King, Size: California King
I purchased this mattress topper for under $27 and I'm so impressed that I'm planning to buy another one! Easy Installation & Perfect Fit: This topper was incredibly easy to put on, and it fits my California King mattress perfectly. The 18-inch deep pockets ensure it stays in place - I can move around on the bed and it doesn't shift at all. Comfort: The topper is wonderfully soft and has made a noticeable difference in our sleep quality. My husband absolutely loves it, and we both wake up feeling more rested. The Ultimate Test: My son recently came home after being deployed for a year. He slept on our bed for hours and immediately commented on how soft and comfortable it was. That's saying something for someone who's been sleeping on military accommodations! He was so impressed that he's planning to buy one for his ship. Bottom Line: For the price, comfort, and quality, I recommend this 100%. It's hypoallergenic, stays in place, and has exceeded all our expectations. You can't go wrong with this purchase!

Mattress protector
Size: Twin
Arrived quickly. No factory odor. Was "scrunchy" out of the package, but fit snuggly around the twin mattress and doesn't make any annoying noise. Basic protective mattress topper. Water proof, but breathable, no condensation under the sheets. Disappointed there wasn't more "fluff", but does the job of protecting my mattress from coffee spills and natural body sweat in between weekly washing. I've had it a while, and it seems to be holding up with monthly washing and drying.
