The Six Wives of Henry VIII | Antonia Fraser

I just finished watching The Tudors for the first time. While Jonathan Rhys Meyers looks nothing like the real Henry VIII, I think he did an excellent job portraying this egomaniacal king. It‘s my first time exploring the other wives of H8 besides Anne Boleyn, and I have gone down the rabbit hole, downloaded about 60 books relating to it all. 😬

hair trigger temper,
piercing gaze — King of England
with a wife fetish. 👑

TorieStorieS This is a fun rabbit hole!! I really enjoyed

The Autobiography of Henry VIII: With Notes by His Fool, Will Somers

JenlovesJT47 @Jerdencon same!! He is absolutely beautiful, especially in the first two seasons. His weird accent in the last season where he was trying to sound older was a choice lol, but still…now I need to check out other things he‘s in. What‘s your favorite book on the subject? 1w

JenlovesJT47 @DebinHawaii it‘s so good! I have a show hangover now so I‘m watching Mad Men for the 37th time 😬😬😬 1w

JenlovesJT47 @Sparklemn definitely not cozy!! 😆😬😅 I actually had to take a break for a couple of weeks in the middle of season 2 because I knew what was going to happen to poor doomed Anne Boleyn. Natalie Dormer did a fantastic job. ♥️♥️♥️ 1w

JenlovesJT47 @BookishMarginalia I was constantly pausing the show to look up facts about the real people, I find it fascinating! 1w

JenlovesJT47 @dabbe I could have written some not so nice ones about H8 but I decided to focus on the hottie JRM. 😳😬🤤 1w

JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal 🤗♥️🥰 1w

JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS ooh I‘ll have to add that to my list! I mostly downloaded historical fiction for now but this sounds good 🤗♥️ 1w

TorieStorieS It is a fictional autobiography! I love all of Margaret George‘s historical fiction!! They are all chunksters but so worth the handcramps! 1w

Sparklemn @JenlovesJT47 Soooo hot! 😍 1w

Autists: Women on the Spectrum | Clara T�rnvall

I‘ve been #downtherabbithole learning about #autism since my diagnosis a few months ago at age 56. #actuallyautistic #ownvoices This is a mix of memoir and nonfiction exploration about why many autistic girls and women are diagnosed late (in late teens and into adulthood).

Darklunarose This looks good. I was diagnosed very late 30s, then early 40s with adhd as well. It makes a load of sense when looking back. I might need to find a copy of this and give it a look. 3w

BookishMarginalia @Darklunarose I also have ADHD, which makes for such an interesting tug between the need for routine and the desire for novelty 😵‍💫. So far this book has my attention, because the author is Swedish and brings a different cultural perspective as well. 3w

Flaneurette Omg! Nice to see you here again! 3w

BethM I was diagnosed with ADHD a year ago at 37- life changing. I tell myself my need for routine is because it‘s the only coping skill that was mostly useful 😂 3w

Clare-Dragonfly The author Rachael Herron was recently diagnosed with autism. She knew she was ADHD and is now learning about being AuDHD. She‘s discussed it on her podcast, Ink In Your Veins. She was describing the conflict between the need for routine and desire for novelty, just like you said! 3w

Gissy Hola!! In si happy that you are back!!! 🥰 3w

TheBookHippie Helllooooo!!!!! 💕💕💕💕 3w

BookishMarginalia @Flaneurette Thank you! Nice to be back! 3w

BookishMarginalia @BethM Right? Have you seen the podcast Late Bloomers by Rich and Rox Pink (ADHD Love on YouTube)? So good! Their 2 books are amazing as well. She‘s ADHD and he‘s undergoing autism diagnosis. Their relationship is wonderful too. Highly recommend! 3w

BookishMarginalia @Clare-Dragonfly oooh, that sounds like a podcast I need to check out. Thanks for the rec! 3w

BookishMarginalia @Gissy Hello from Florida! How are you? It‘s been a long time! 3w

BookishMarginalia @TheBookHippie Hello 👋🏼 💜💜💜 3w

Gissy @BookishMarginalia Yes! But it so nice and lovely to have you back. Very happy to see you and your cats 😻Say hello to @WanderingBookaneer 3w

MyNamesParadise I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 25 and then I was diagnosed with autism a month before my 29th birthday. I‘m 33 now. It‘s been quite an experience. I wish I‘d known while I was still in school. My whole life could‘ve been different if I knew more about how I learned and viewed the world. 3w

quietlycuriouskate It's good to see you again! (Fellow neuro-divergent, here. 👋) 3w

kspenmoll I am so excited to see you back here! I hope your diagnosis has made sense of your self in the world…girls/ women still het diagnosed so much later than boys because as you know, they present differently. My son is autistic , but he, as most boys, got his diagnosis early at age 7. 3w

Darklunarose @BookishMarginalia oh yes that tug of war. We like routine, till we are bored, then we need some chaos, but then we get overwhelmed…rinse and repeat! 3w

BookishMarginalia @Gissy She says hello! 3w

BookishMarginalia @MyNamesParadise It does make such a difference to know now. It gives me language to describe my experience and also a community of people with similar experiences. 3w

BookishMarginalia @quietlycuriouskate Hi! Good to be here and to connect! 3w

BookishMarginalia @kspenmoll So good to see you too! And yes, the presentation is different, plus when I was growing up in the 70s and early 80‘s the understanding of autism was not very advanced. The diagnosis has been a relief and such an explanation. 3w

BookishMarginalia @Darklunarose Exactly! 3w

Deaf Utopia: A Memoir�and a Love Letter to a Way of Life | Nyle DiMarco, Robert Siebert

pick

It‘s clear that the real SUPER STAR in this memoir is Nyle‘s mom and it‘s clear Nyle is her number one fan. Nyle calls this memoir a “love letter to a way of life” and that‘s truly what this was. Nyle shares his experiences within the Deaf Community and his love for ASL and those who advocate for it‘s usage. I did go #DownTheRabbitHole and watched a ton of DWTS videos. Pretty amazing how Nyle was able to feel the music and dance so gracefully 😍

Cinfhen It was interesting @MallenNC to hear both Nyle‘s & Jennifer‘s DWTS experience!!! I‘m enjoying your list!! I have 4 more to go but im not sure I‘ll get to them this month. I plan on reading the rest during the year! 3y

Cinfhen #DeweyDecimalChallenge #Language 3y

Cinfhen #NonFictionChallenge23 #AllAboutTheBase @Riveted_Reader_Melissa it‘s the way Nyle and many others in the Deaf Community hear music and are able to keep/ dance to the rhythm/ through the vibrations 😄 3y

MallenNC @Cinfhen It was a coincidence that I read those two close together. I had actually forgotten about Jennifer doing the show. I am going to be reading from your list beyond January also. I got sidetracked this week by Prince Harry! 3y

KarenUK The photo shoot he did with his mother on America‘s next top model was so beautiful. The lens captured their beautiful bond so well…. 3y

Cinfhen I saw that too @KarenUK when I checked out his #ANTM cycle photos 🥰 3y

Cinfhen @MallenNC I got sidetracked by Prince Harry too 🥰🥰🥰 3y

squirrelbrain I don‘t know Nyle but would love to read this. A deaf actor (Rose Ayling-Ellis)won Strictly in the UK last year - her Couples Choice dance was amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QejOzrlovTQ 3y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Cinfhen that‘s a wonderful pick for that! I love it… and stacking this book too 3y

Librarybelle Great review! 3y

Cinfhen I just watched the clip @squirrelbrain - she‘s lovely Do you remember Marlee Matlin, the deaf actress who won an Academy Award , she was on DWTS too. A long time ago. 3y

Cinfhen If you read True Biz this is a good companion piece @Librarybelle @Riveted_Reader_Melissa @squirrelbrain 3y

squirrelbrain I think Rose spoke to Marlee during her Strictly journey. I remember a few Littens speaking about Nyle when we read True Biz, which was the first time I‘d heard of him. 3y

vlwelser Not that you need another rabbit hole, but he was lovely on America's Next Top Model. 3y

Cinfhen I did google him on ANTM and saw some photos but I‘m almost inclined to bingewatch the entire season @vlwelser 😅 3y

vlwelser I always liked that show so I might be biased, but I think you'd be entertained at the very least. 3y

KathyWheeler I rarely watch ANTM, but for some reason I watched the cycle he was on. I loved him on it, and read this memoir last year. I really enjoyed it and learned a lot. 3y

Cinfhen ANTM is one of those addictive shows @KathyWheeler @vlwelser im just not sure I want to open that Pandora‘s box!!!! 3y

Megabooks So glad you enjoyed this too!! I read it back to crack with True Biz and that was great!

True Biz

Cinfhen It‘s not my favorite memoir @Megabooks but it was cool to learn from an own voice ASL speaker & the irony isn‘t lost on me that I chose audio 🤦🏼‍♀️ 3y

Cinfhen I thought it was interesting that Nyle considers this book translated from ASL @Megabooks 3y

JaneyWaneyB @Klou & @Leftcoastzen It is a great day out so if you ever go to London most definitely worth a visit and the Natural History Museum and Science Museum are the V&A's neighbours 4y

Klou @Leftcoastzen oooh okay. Thank you! 4y

Klou @JaneyWaneyB I've been to Natural History Museum on a school trip. Never went to the others though, I don't think. Hopefully one day! 4y

JaneyWaneyB @Klou it was my first time at the V&A definitely recommend it 🤓 4y
