Hello November! It actually finally started to feel like autumn here in Texas only last week, so I feel like I’ve been missing out on several good weeks of cozy season!
Books
There are quite a few books that have come out over the past few months in the UK that will be out in the US in November:
Henry VIII’s Controversial Aunt, Honor Lisle: Her Life, Letters and influence on The Tudor Court by Amy Licence was released in the summer in the UK and will be out on November 15 in the US.
The Race for Elizabeth I’s Throne: Rival Tudor Cousins by Beverley Adams was just released in the UK and will be out at the end of the month in the US>
Trancy Borman’s The Stolen Crown: Treachery, Deceit and the Death of the Tudor Dynasty came out in early September in the UK and will be out the first week in November in the US.
Elizabeth I’s Ladies, Gentlewomen and Maids: The Women Who Served the Tudor Queen by Heather Shanette was released in October in the UK and will be out at the end of November in the US.
And a new release that came out in the UK in late October and will be out on November 11 in the US – Much Ado About Cooking: Delicious Shakespearean Feasts for Every Occasion. I’ve got this one on my wish list to add to my historical cooking library!
