We've just finished doing exactly the same

QuickTidal, on 14 August 2026 - 12:35 PM, said:Finished THE WHITE QUEEN this morning. It was really solid. If that's indicative of the rest of the books, I'm excited to keep reading the series. I like how she adds JUST a dash of magic or supernatural to this...like enough to seem valid but not enough to dip into fantasy. It gives it a bit of flair.
Is The White Queen the one about Elizabeth Woodville?
Finished listening to John Robins' Thirst: Twelve Drinks That Changed My Life. It charts his history of alcoholism and how it has affected his life, and whilst not always an easy listen his delivery (being a comedian) is often very entertaining even during the heavier passages. It's a very brave book to have written and he seems to have come at it with a genuine desire to help others with what he's learned.
There are two bonus chapters which are John being interviewed by two of his friends (one of which is fellow comedian Elis James) and they're a real hoot - you can hear the genuine affection and friendship through the gently ripping him to bits.
Would definitely recommend, with the caveat of it does sometimes get quite upsetting. -

Congrats, that's lovely news!
WMMHT: Deadlifted over my body weight for the first time in a couple of years yesterday. It's been a long road back from a couple of injuries (torn adductor, then hip and knee flare ups from running) and I'd half thought I wouldn't get there at all again. Very pleased

Same! And no I didn't - that has the potential to be excellent!

You called?
For the record, I do a pretty good "Katherine Parr was a screaming badass" lecture too.
Glad your son enjoyed himself QT! One of us, one of us, one of us....
Ha! Amazing.
Hey so now that I want to know more…but in a fiction/novel way…Allison Weir or Phillipa Gregory?
Both for different reasons. Gregory is the better novelist, though take her work with a pinch of salt in terms of historical accuracy. I really enjoy her The Other Boleyn Girl for what it is whilst recognising it's Anne is a demonised caricature and that she's gone down the sensationalist debunked route in places.
Weir is a historian through and through so takes on such liberties (except on the occasions where there is no real record to go on), but her Six Tudor Queens series gets stronger as it goes along.
