Memoirs of Mary Queen of Scots

Carolly Erickson's "Memoirs of Mary Queen of Scots" was actually a bit disappointing. I've liked her nonfiction books in the past, and her fiction title "The Last Wife of Henry VIII", about Catherine Parr, was very good. This one was just--I don't know, flat, I guess. Mary's life was so interesting and tumultuous that I felt Erickson left most of that out. She hardly touched on the interesting dynamic of Mary and her cousin, rival Queen Elizabeth I of England. I think I'm in a bit of a reading rut right now: I have many great books at home, waiting for me, but I pick them up and none of them look appealing. I'll have to find something to break this trend.
