@sainte-chapelle Katherine by Anya Seton (based on the life of Katherine Swynford, third wife of John of Gaunt and the ancestress of the Tudor line) is a seminal book by which contemporary authors measure themselves. Alison Weir, for example. Brilliantly researched and uses primary sources. Philippa Gregory’s books are amusing but very very very loosely based on history.

Me too, if you have any recommendations please share!
I will do! Of murder mysteries in general or Tudor/Plantagenet history?
Iceland should be extremely grateful to have an Ivy Leaguer in their midst. Surprised this admissions lady didn’t roll out a red carpet before Corona arrived.

I tried that a few times, never could get past the first few pages. My mother, who is much more literary than I am, liked it.
I just read Patrick Stewart's memoir this weekend and it was just great. And Moon Zappa's memoir before that. That poor girl. I just wanted to give her a hug.
Oooh, I may try! I loves me some Tudor history! Thanks for the tip!
And by the way how is your mother doing??
I love CJ Sansom’s novels! They’re brilliant. I’m a huge Anglophile and love Tudor and Plantagenet history.

Oh my giddy aunt? That’s a new one for me!
I also love “job’s a good ‘un” which means you did something well or everything’s all set.
Loren is such a big person. He’s accepting Faith for who she is. Isn’t Faith lucky and grateful??

So he doesn't have to pay child support. The same reason he wants to hide out in the Philippines.
This deadbeat is probably being pursued by every bill collector in America, too.

I feel terrible for Brian’s daughter. She has watched her father do this to her mother and all the other ex-wives plus girlfriends in between.

Have you been watching Benidorm? That’s where, very recently, I first heard “oh my days.”
I go to England twice a year. It’s northerners (mostly north west) who I hear it from the most and now it’s part of my lexicon! 😆

I don’t give two tiny mouse droppings what Brian’s secret is about the car jacking. It doesn’t change the fact that he’s a creep now.

Loren, you are a smarmy, unappealing, deceitful piece of garbage. And you have the GALL to gaslight Faith in her family member’s house. Oh my days, you guys. I HATE HIM SO MUCH.

She Googled physical therapy and read the first result and that’s sufficient.

She is going to ask for ranch dressing when she gets there, like what’s her name did. (The one with the feral child Drusilla who married the Korean guy.)

Just revealed his MO. "I feel like I'm being judged!" He ladles on the guilt whenever someone points out his lies, evasions, prevarications, stretchings of the truth, and complete fabrications. "I guess I misjudged you. I thought you were the kind of person who could look past my disabilities. I was mistaken. You're just hung up on appearances and don't believe that love requires sacrifice. I'm so disappointed, I thought you were a better person than that".
This. All of this. And I will bet you a flock of Rayne’s chickens that this is what he told his previous 4 wives.

Niles and Stapler should talk.
Right! So far, I think Niles is being truthful about his challenges. Stapler is a lying self-centered weasel.
