Each week Traci Kenworth visits a great many of our blogs and provides a snippet and the link so that we can head over and discover more. Please take a look at the great selection she has this week and I am always very grateful for her support.

This is just one of the genres that she includes..

Historical:

1. http://awriterofhistory.com/2018/03/01/mary-tudor-princess-by-tony-riches/ For several years, Tony has focused his writing on the Tudors, not Henry VIII but those who found the dynasty that changed British history. He began with Owen Tudor, grandfather to Henry VII, who was protector to Queen Catherine of Valois, widow of Henry V. After Owen Tudor, Tony tackled Jasper Tudorand then Henry Tudor who defeated Richard III and became Henry VII.
2. http://bloodredpencil.blogspot.com/2018/03/womens-history-month-tragedy-and-survival.html Recently, however, when researching Illinois history sites, I stumbled across a story of women whose health was damaged while they worked diligently to earn a living for their families in the 1920s.
3. https://smorgasbordinvitation.wordpress.com/2018/03/03/smorgasbord-blog-magazine-sallys-book-reviews-mary-tudor-princess-by-tony-riches/ Welcome to the series where I share my thoughts on the books that I read. Not as many as I would like, but I am currently on target to read a book a week. I have already enjoyed three books written by Tony Richesand this book is no exception. Published on February 1st, Mary: Tudor Princess is the story of the daughter of Henry VII and sister to the newly crowned King Henry VIII.
