Added to my TBR

• The king’s evil by Andrew Taylor. I’ve decided to read on with this series as I love the setting (alas, more than the characters).

Watched

• Not so much as I focused on reading and doing some at home pilates in the evenings. I’m still enjoying ‘Once upon a time’ though.
• After finishing the tenant of Wildfell hall, I started watching the Jane Eyre BBC miniseries again with Toby Stephens. I could use another Brontë fix :D.

Links I enjoyed

• The Hertfordshire nunnery where Henry VIII ‘secretly married’ Anne Boleyn
• 2021 in books: what to look forward to this year
• Tower of London’s Queen raven missing and feared dead. I guess Merlina wasn’t in agreement with the Brexit?

How was your January? Did you finish some great books?
