]]> While it’s not astronomically spring for another three weeks, meteorological spring starts today! I don’t think we got enough rain over the winter to have a good wildflower season here in central Texas, but I’m sure we’ll still see some bluebonnets popping out soon.

Books

We have one book that was already released in the UK that will soon be out in the US:

Elizabeth Boleyn: The Life of the Queen’s Mother by Sophie Bacchus-Waterman came out last fall in the UK and will be out at the beginning of March in the US.

And in new books, the first one I have is Lost Heirs of the Tudor Crown, which I originally had down as coming out in January in the UK and March in the US, but now it looks like it’s late March in the UK and mid-April in the US.

Next is Sean Cunningham’s Henry VII: Treason and Trust, part of the Penguin Monarchs Series, which will be out at the beginning of March in the UK and in June in the US. I have been tracking this one for ages, so I’m happy to see that it’s finally coming out!

And Desiderius Erasmus: The Folly or Far Sightedness of Renaissance Europe’s Greatest Mind by Amy McElroy will be out at the end of March in the UK and the end of May in the US.

Norwich Cathedral. Photo May 2015.

There are various places in Norwich where you can see remnants of the colors that were all over medieval cathedrals in the day. See the upper left of this photo. It wasn’t all blank stone! (see also – ancient Greece and Rome)
