Sounds like they’re not offering a warranty for new purchases and will only be honoring the warranty for purchases before the cut off date for one year.

In the midst of It’s Okay to be Angry About Capitalism by Bernie Sanders after finishing Bob Woodward’s War the other day. Yes, both triggered by current events.

I also have about four books ongoing for my thesis: one on mercy in the Tudor century, the Acts of the Privy Council for Edward VI, and Dress at the Tudor Court by Maria Hayward.

Recently completed HFM Prescott’s The Man on a Donkey, a wonderful piece of historic fiction about the main actors (and a few fictional ones) of the 1536 Pilgrimage of Grace—a rebellion against the religious changes of Henry VIII. Despite being a scholar of 16th century England I’m not at all interested in historical fiction, but this was quite a beautiful work set as a chronicle and tracing half a dozen characters from their youth until the final suppression of the Pilgrimage in summer 1537. Prescott does get straight to business so I can imagine it would be a bit difficult to place oneself without preexisting knowledge of late medieval/early modern England, but that thrown-in-the-deep-end attitude worked for me.

Edit: word is that Hilary Mantel was deeply influenced by Prescott, as was the playwright of A Man for All Seasons.

My mother in law has a very dainty, feable 12-year-old Maltese that he tries depseratly to play with. That usually involves the Maltese getting stuck under Radahn…surely that counts!

I hope those participating have fun! Unfortunately I won’t be joining as I forgot to pack my kit before leaving town—somehow I remembered my travel mug but naught else—so I’ll be catching up upon returning. Happy weekend!
