Once in a generation a woman comes along who changes everything. Tina Fey is not that woman but she met that woman once & acted weird around her. Before 30 Rock Mean Girls & Sarah Palin Tina Fey was just a young girl with a dream: a recurring stress dream that she was being chased through a local airport by her middle-school gym teacher. She also had a dream that one day she would be a comedian on TV. She has seen both these dreams come true. At last Tina Feys story can be told. From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live; from her passionately halfhearted pursuit of physical beauty to her life as a mother eating things off the floor; from her one-sided college romance to her nearly fatal honeymoon
- from the beginning of this paragraph to this final sentence. Tina Fey reveals all & proves what weve all suspected: youre no one until someone calls you bossy.

On the morning of 22 August 1485 in fields several miles from Bosworth two armies faced each other ready for battle. The might of Richard III's army was pitted against the inferior forces of the upstart pretender to the crown Henry Tudor a 28-year-old Welshman who had just arrived back on British soil after fourteen years in exile. Yet this was to be a fight to the death
- only one man could survive; only one could claim the throne. It would become one of the most legendary battles in English history: the only successful invasion since Hastings it was the last time a king died on the battlefield. But BOSWORTH is much more than the account of the dramatic events of that fateful day in August. It is a tale of brutal feuds & deadly civil wars & the remarkable rise of the Tudor family from obscure Welsh gentry to the throne of England
- a story that began sixty years earlier with Owen Tudor's affair with Henry V's widow Katherine of Valois. Drawing on eyewitness reports newly discovered manuscripts & the latest archaeological evidence Chris Skidmore vividly recreates this battle-scarred world in an epic saga of treachery & ruthlessness death & deception & the birth of the Tudor dynasty.
