I recently finished The White Queen which is about the War of the Roses from the perspective of King Edward's wife Elizabeth. It's apparently very historically accurate, in terms of events in her life, folding in the fact that her mother was accused of witchcraft, as was she, his two boys being imprisoned in the Tower of London, her surviving two stints in sanctuary...
It was a very different book from what I normally read, and rather slow for what I read, but also oddly fascinating. Might read some more of this author's stuff. I think her name is Phillipa Gregory...?
Now reading The Boys in the Boat about the crew team that won gold at the 1936 Berlin olympics. So far it's interesting. Talking about the life of one of crewmen growing up in the 20's and the Depression.

Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
