How can a month simultaneously seem as though it flew by in a flash but also lasted a thousand years? Because that’s what January 2026 felt like.
Books
I’ve got a couple of new books this month, although one is a book that I missed last month!
A new book about Anne of Cleves, Accounting for Anne: The Tudor Queen Who Could Have Been by James Taffe came out last month in both the US and UK.
And Bloody, Brilliant Tudors: 100 Tales of Gowns, Gossip and Gory Ends will be out in the UK on February 19, but I don’t have a US release date yet. I’ll update when I find out more!
Exhibition
Hever Castle is hosting a new exhibition, Capturing a Queen: The Image of Anne Boleyn which “brings together the largest ever gathering of portraits believed to depict Anne Boleyn, including a ground-breaking newly identified contemporary image unveiled for the first time.” The exhibition will run from February 11, 2026 to January 2, 2027 and is included with admission to the castle.
