Weekend Links

 Happy (sniffle, cough) weekend!  Or not so much around here--after over 3 years of good luck, I have covid!!!  Luckily, it just feels like a no-fun cold and is getting better, but my writing was set back for a few days and I spent far too much time watching videos of dogs and cats pretending to talk (that Penny the cat, hilarious!).  But here are a few other reads I found, and happy autumn!  I love this time of year.  Crisp breezes!  Beautiful colors!  Apple cider!  Striped sweaters!  Best of all...Halloween

Sorry I'm late for an important date this weekend!  The day job is busy, deadline looms...but there's a lot  fun and/or interesting to read!

Heroine of the Weekend

Last week on Risky Regencies, I wrote about the anniversary of the death of Anne Boleyn, one of my biggest "historical heroines." It seems appropriate to feature her this week, Memorial Day Weekend! And in honor of all the Henry VIII anniversary activities going on in England this year, I'll spend a few weeks featuring Tudor women (there are so many fascinating Tudor women!). next week, Mary Tudor Brandon, Queen of France...

Have a great weekend, everyone! Who are you thinking about this Memorial Day?
